🧂 सामग्री
- 600 g White fish fillets(e.g., snapper, mahi-mahi, cod; cut into 4 portions)

👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
Prepare the banana leaves by wilting them over an open flame or dipping them in hot water until they become soft and pliable. This prevents them from tearing when folded.
- 2
In a small bowl, mix together coconut milk, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. If using, add sliced chili.
- 3
Place one portion of fish onto the center of a prepared banana leaf. Spoon some of the coconut milk marinade over the fish. Add a slice of tomato if desired.
- 4
Fold the banana leaf to completely enclose the fish, creating a sealed parcel. You can secure it with kitchen twine or toothpicks if needed.
- 5
Repeat with the remaining fish portions and banana leaves.
- 6
Steam the parcels in a steamer basket over boiling water for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
- 7
Carefully unwrap the parcels and serve the fish immediately, with the flavorful juices from the leaf.
