Ideally this dish should be made with bhetki fish.I tried with singhara fish and found its equally delicious.You can try with any other boneless fish.






Ingredients

1.Singhara fish - 4pieces
2.Coconut grated - 1/2cup
3.Mustard seeds - 2tsp
4.Green chilly - 2nos
5.Turmeric powder - 1/2tsp
6.Ginger - 1inch
7.Curd - 1/4cup(hung curd)
8.Banana leaf for wrapping
9.Thread to tie
10.Mustard oil - 1tbsp
11.Salt to taste

Method

Make a paste of coconut,mustard seeds,green chilly,ginger,curd.To this mixture add salt,turmeric powder and mustard oil.Take a rectangle portion of a banana leaf,spread a small amount mixture and lay a fish piece on it.Cover the fish with another layer of the mixture.Refer the image to understand better.Fold the banana leaf and tie with the thread.Repeat the procedure for the other fish pieces too.Now steam them for 15mins approximately.You can also cook in microwave by keeping them in a micro safe bowl and cook for 8 to 10 mins in a high micro mode.Serve hot with rice.
