I have been thinking of making this dish for quite some time and I just love this mashed fish with lots of onion & mirchi. I can have it with plain rice and dal. But no one in the family is a big fan of fish other than me, so I intentionally delayed in preparing this dish. Today I just could not let myself go without doing this in the kitchen. Sent the husband to get the banana leaf in the morning to get me going. Very happy to share this recipe with you all . Though Assamese dishes has less scope of garnishing , still I tried to make it look little interesting.
Ingredients:
Rohu Fish: 2 pieces (you can take boneless fish also and as per your number of servings)
Onion: 1 small sized finely chopped
A handful of Chopped fresh coriander leaves
Salt to taste
Juice of half lime
Chopped green chillies: 1-2 (you can adjust as per your taste & ability)
Mustard oil: 1 tbsp.
Banana leaf of medium size. After you clean the banana leaf with water, heat it over the flame for sometime on both the sides to avoid the breakage of the leaf while wrapping the fish.
Method:
Wash the fish pieces and rub some salt and few drops of mustard oil nicely and keep aside. Place the fish on the glossy side of the leaf at the centre and fold it from all four sides and make it a square parcel. . Heat the tawa/pan and place the fish pieces wrapped in banana leaf. Keep the flame on low. Grill on both the sides of the fish for about 10 minutes. You will get to see the fish colour changing to light brown and release water. Remove it from the pan and let it cool.
Once it is cool, in a mixing bowl mash the fish pieces with your hands. If you are using fish with bones, you can remove the bones while mashing also. Now add the chopped onion, coriander, chopped chillies, salt, mustard oil, lime juice and mix them all with the mashed fish properly. Check for the seasoning before serving. Enjoy this delicious healthy dish with plain rice & dal & some chilli pickle.
