Preparation time : - 25 minutes Serves : - 2

HOW TO PREPARE : -

Clean and wash the pofrets thoroughly. Make horizontal cuts in the fish fillet making small pockets. Rub some salts into the fish fillet and then pour some lemon juice in it. Let it marinate for an hour. Now take a blender and put the grated coconut, coriander leaves, green chillies, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, garlic, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and salt to taste. Blend all these ingredients into a fine paste. Now apply this paste on the fish and let it marinate for half an hour. Now take the banana leaves and place a fish inside it. See to it that there should be enough marinade in and around the fish. Wrap up each leaf with a fish inside and set it on a steamer. Steam this for about 25 minutes. Just before serving only remove from the wrap and garnish with lemon slices and serve.
