| Steamed catfish |
3 fillets of catfish
Banana leaves (I got them frozen from a Hispanic market)
Ingredients for the Marinade
1 1/2 cups of fresh grated coconut
1/2 onion
1/2 tomato
2 tablespoons of ginger garlic paste
2 spoons of tamarind paste ( I used homemade date chutney)
Coconut oil for cooking
1 bunch of finely cut coriander leaves
1 teaspoon chilli, turmeric and coriander powders
Salt and pepper to taste
Step 1: Saute the ginger garlic paste in coconut oil on low heat. Add finely diced onion, tomato and coconut. Cook it until the ginger garlic paste is cooked. Add the tamarind paste, spices and the coriander leaves.
Step 2: Mix it well. Blend half of this mixture and marinate the fish in it for about 1 hour and set it aside. You can sprinkle some lime juice on the fish.
Step 3: Add the rest of the mixture on top on the fish and place it on the banana leaf.
Step 4: Wrap the fish in the leaf and close it from all sides. You can toothpicks to hold it together.
Step 5: Bake the fish in the oven at 350F for 15 minutes in a baking pan or foil. Serve hot.
