Actually its a bake/steam cooking recipe! But my brother insisted on frying them….as he liked the idea of plantain leaves giving a smoky odour to your fish. Well…we both were experimenting in my Mom’s kitchen(back home). We steamed the fish first(well-wrapped in plantain leaves) and saved it for calorie counters! And to tell you that….thats the end of actual recipe! But we took over from here….we fried the same for quick few seconds in oil…to get a crispy outlayers! Nice one, right!

Ingredients:

King Fish 4-6 Slices
Plantain leaves 4-6 wraps(a young leaf would make a good wrap)
Ginger-garlic paste 1 spoon
Salt
Turmeric 1/2 spoon
Chili powder 1 spoon
Rice powder 1 spoon
Lemon juice from 1 fruit
Sesame oil few spoons.
Oil 1/4 cup for tawa frying(optional).

Method:

Mix….salt, turmeric, chili powder, rice powder, ginger-garlic paste and lemon juice.

Now coat this over fish slices. Cover and leave it in fridge for about 2-4 hours.

Spray sesame oil in the leaf. Little bit on the fish slices too. Now wrap each fillet with an individual leaf. Either steam them or bake them.

You’re done. If you wanna fry for more crispier taste…simple! Spray some oil in a griddle/tawa. Fry them with or without leaves.

Serve warm as a side dish for your south Indian meals….hmmm, I pretty doubt it, you’ll end up eating them on your kitchen counter!:)
