How to Make Fish Steamed In Banana Leaves
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar, 2 tbsp mustard oil, and 2-3 finely chopped green chilies.
- Add 1 lb of your favorite firm white fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or basa) to the bowl and gently toss to coat evenly.
- Marinate the fish for 20-30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- In a separate small bowl, prepare 2 tbsp of ground mustard.
- Place each fish fillet on a large banana leaf. Top with 1 tsp of the ground mustard mixture and a spoonful of the remaining marinade.
- Carefully fold the banana leaf to create a sealed pouch around each fillet.
- Place the banana leaf pouches in a steamer basket and steam for 20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Carefully remove the pouches from the steamer, allowing them to cool slightly before opening.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious flavors of Bengal!
