Ingredients
4
tbsp
Mustard oil
Edible mustard oil. I bought mine from a Bangladeshi store
3
onion
I have used red onion
5/6
Pumpkin Leaves
you can also use zucchini or cucumber or any gourd plant leave or even a cabbage to make the same.
2
tsp
Turmeric Powder
3/4
tsp
Hot red Chilli powder
I like this hot. Please use as per your taste. My chilli powder is not that hot so I needed more. Also it gives a lovely red colour
2 tsp
Salt
As per taste
Instructions
Make thin slice of the onions
wash the fish and sprinkle salt, turmeric and chilli powder. Marinate the fish
Add the remaining salt, chilli powder and turmeric to the onion. Add mustard oil
Mix the onion, pressing with hands so that they become soft, making them easy to roll inside the leaf parcel
Place a piece of fish on a pumpkin leaf, add some soften onion mix
Fold the leaf in a way so that the fish is sealed totally. You might need some extra leaf too.
Add little oil on a frying pan. Shallow fry the fish parcels turning them on both sides
Serve with hot rice
