Method

• Make a paste of the chutney stuffing ingredients and check the seasoning (don’t add too much water)and place the fish in the chutney marinate for a few hours
• Cut the banana leaves according to the size of the fish so as to completely wrap the fish
• Place these leaves on a hot plate so that they become soft and can be easily handled
• Now place the fish on the banana leaf along with some extra chutney so as to keep the fish moist. And wrap the fish tightly so that the flavours and chutney don’t escape.
• Place the fish on trays and sprinkle some vegetable oil and Sugarcane vinegar and cook the fish in a steamer until the fish is cooked properly
