Recipe:

1. Prep the fish as shown in this reel, or ask your fishmonger to do this for you.

2. Paturi marinade: soak all the seeds for 2 hours and strain. Blend all ingredients (except for the yoghurt) until you obtain a paste. Fold in the yoghurt.

3. Wrap: toast the banana leaves until they become malleable. Brush mustard oil over the leave’s shiny side. Spread the paste over one side of the fish and place it onto the leave paste-side down. Cover the other side with paste and garnish with half a red chilli. Wrap the fish as shown and tie together with kitchen twine.

4. Steam the fish in an oven dish for 10 minutes on each side. Serve with basmati or Jasmin rice and enjoy! 🥳
