Bengli Fish Banana Wrap

Ingredients:

500g Fish Fillet

Banana Leaf

1-2 tbsp mustard oil

2 tbsp yogurt

Paste

1 tbsp black mustard seed

1 tsp yellow mustard seed

1 tsp poppy seed

6-8 green chili ~ deseeded

3 cloves garlic

1 tsp turmeric powder

1 lemon juice

1 tsp salt

Directions/Instructions:

1. Wash, dry, and cut the fish fillet into 4-inch pieces.  Set aside
2. Add all the paste ingredients to a food processor and grind them into a smooth paste.
3. Transfer to a large bowl, add the yogurt and mustard oil.  Stir to combine.  Then dip the fish pieces into the marinade and rub them with your fingers.  Leave the marinated fish in the fridge for 2 hours.
4. Lightly roast the banana leaf on the heat to soften it and make it foldable. Cut the banana leaf into 8-inch squares and set them aside.
5. Take the banana leaf, plate it with the glossy side up, and place a piece of fish in the center. Top each parcel with a slice of lemon and green chili.
6. Fold the leaf from each side and wrap it into a square parcel. Tie the thread around the parcel so it does not open while cooking.
7. Next, steam the fish parcels (approximately 10 minutes) or pan-fry them. Put some oil in a nonstick pan to pan-fry and place a few parcels in a single layer. Close the lid and cook on medium for 10 minutes on each side.
8. Serve the parcels with steamed rice.  Unwrapping it before serving could make it lose its aroma.
