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 for 2 hours in the fridge.
4. Lightly roast the banana leaf on the heat to make it soft and foldable.  Cut the banana leaf into 8-inch squares and set aside.
5. Take the banana leaf, plate with the glossy side up, and place a piece of fish at the center.  Top it with a slice of lemon and green chili on each parcel.
6. Fold the leaf from each side and wrap it into a square parcel.  Tie it with the thread so that it does not open while cooking.
7. Next, steam the fish parcel (approx 10 mins) or pan-fry them.  Put some oil in the non-stick pan to pan-fry and place a few parcels in a sing layer.  Close the lid and cook on medium for 10 mins on each side.
8. Serve the parcels with steamed rice.  Unwrapping it before serving could make it lose its aroma.
