👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
Prepare the banana leaves by gently passing them over a low flame or dipping them in hot water until they become soft and pliable. This prevents them from tearing.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Be careful not to burn the leaves. - 2
Lay out one banana leaf, shiny side down. Place a portion of fish in the center.
- 3
Layer the sliced onion, tomatoes, and bell pepper over the fish.
- 4
Drizzle with coconut cream and sprinkle with chopped spring onions, coriander, salt, and pepper.
- 5
Fold the banana leaf to create a sealed parcel, ensuring no liquid can escape. You can use toothpicks or kitchen twine to secure the edges if needed.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Fold like an envelope or a tamale. - 6
Repeat with the remaining fish fillets and ingredients to make 4 parcels.
- 7
Steam the parcels in a steamer basket over simmering water for 25-30 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Ensure the water level in the pot does not touch the steamer basket. - 8
Carefully unwrap the parcels and serve immediately.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Serve directly in the banana leaf for an authentic presentation.
