Typical Kerala food with awesome fragrance of coconut and it's cooked with coconut oil in a banana leaf. If you get karimeen, kindly use that for exotic flavor and taste. Not all will get it every where, it's available around Kerela and all star hotels. #Idcarvings2

Steps

20mins

1

Add all the marination ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Apply the mixture over the fishes and leave it for about 30mins. Heat oil in a wide pan and fry the fish over medium flame.
2

Once it is cooked on one side, turn it over to fry it on the other side. Once it is fully fried, keep it aside. Heat oil in another pan, Add onion and saute till it becomes translucent. Add ginger garlic paste, tomatoes and all dry masala. Allow it to cook till it turns mushy by stirring occasionally.
3

Take a banana leaf. Wilt it by running it over a medium heat to make the leaf soft (this step makes it easy to fold the leaf without tearing). Spread the masala say the bottom of leaf and keep fish on top. Again apply masala to fish and cover it with banana leaf.
4

Take a pan and add oil. Just place the leaf over pan and fry till golden brown. Wait for few minutes and remove the leaf. Serve it hot with lemon.
5

Note: coconut paste is optional so if u do not like it then ignore it. Cook the recipe with pearl spot karimeen.
