PEPES IKAN

Grilled Fish in Banana Leaves

What would the Balinese have done without banana leaves? Pliable and porous, they are perfect for grilling and steaming as they retain natural flavours while imparting their own subtle aroma.

Served : 4-8

600 gms. (18 oz) fish banana leaves

4 shredded lime leaves salam leaves for each parcel

Spices :

6 Garlic 3 shallots

2 tomatoes 1 tsp. sea salt

3 candlenut 2 stalks of lemongrass

¼ tspn. shrimp paste ½ tsp. black pepper

1 tspn. tamarind 3 large red chilli

2-4 small chilli 1 ½ tbspn. fresh galangal

1 tspn. fresh turmeric 2 tsp. ginger

2 tspn. palm sugar 1 tsp. coriander seeds

3 tbs. oil Fragrant ginger, chilli and fresh fish are wrapped together and grilled over hot, coconut coals. The result is a deliciously golden and healthy meal. Try parchment paper if banana leaves are not available and barbeque your fish or grill in the oven in the absence of hot coconut coals.

Grind the spices with the oil in a mortar and pestle or blend in the container of a food processor until you have a fragrant, golden yellow paste, flecked with chilli and tomato skin. Chop the into fat chunks, rooughly 4 cm x 4 cm or leave whole if you prefer. Shred the lime leaves. Mix thoroughly with the spice paste. Oil and fish. Cut the banana leaves into rectangles roughly the size of a standard envolope. Wrap the fish in one or two layers of banana leaves, with a salam leaf underneath. Roll over and secure the ends with a toothpick or tie with string.

Grill, steam or barbecue the fish for five minutes or until cooked.

Serve with steamed rice and Kangkung pelecing.

Now I know where to go during Eid holiday.

This plate would be costing something like 3000 $

Hope when I get there, I would know the restaurant and they would be able to tell me the name.

Still waiting to know the name

Fortunately, Rasa Malaysia is very cute and I have added her to my buddy list :D

You are in. Provided that Novi knows what am talking about:D

Do you know the name of the plate. At least I can google it and experiment on myself. Bet you it would work after 50 attempts:))

My ma dont cook either :-(

You asked the wrong person ... i am very bad cook :-( Thats why i know all Indonesian restaurants in Doha lol ...

Sounds like you better call yer Ma ! :D

A small inocent hijack.

Once in KL, I was invited to an Indonesian restaurant. We got something like minced fish fillet marinated with special spices and very very hot chilli. Wrapped in banana leaves and I think it was steam cooked. We were eating and tears were filling our cheeks. But it was very yummy. If you know what am talking about and you know the recipe, would be very grateful

If you're looking for a problem, you're probably gonna find one.

i went last year .... it was for family. People bought the food to take away since its not time to eat, most of them bought the food for iftar.

the food they sell all are good home made meal ... made by malaysian ladies / housewives who live in Doha.

colt45 ... last year there was many kind of laksa ... Penang Laksa or Singapore Laksa. Mind you ... you have to come early ... because people buy in bulks :D

Yes Novi - let us know more details - I think there are many here interested! I sure am.. but need to know - are males allowed?

ARMY.

" Life is not a party we hoped for, but while we are here, we might as well dance! "

I wanna eat Laksa... would that be avbl? i so love that...yummieeeeee!!!!

is it for ladies alone??

Think it is for women only. This is not fair

Novi, this sounds very yummy, but since it's between 2 and 4pm, it's still not the time to eat for some of us...

If you're looking for a problem, you're probably gonna find one.
