Patrani machi is a Parsi steamed fish preparation. Fish coated in a coconut chutney mixture, wrapped in banana leaf and steamed.

Ingredients:
4-5 Fillets pomfret or pompano
1/4 cup Lemon juice
1/2 cup Fresh coconut scraped
1 cup Fresh coriander chopped
6-8 Garlic cloves
4 Green chillies
3 tsp cumin seeds
Banana leaves cut into squares 4 or foil to steam

Method: 

• Put coconut, coriander leaves, garlic, green chillies, cumin seeds, lemon juice and salt in a blender jar. Add sufficient water and grind to a fine paste.
• Spread some of the paste on each piece of banana leaf, place a fish fillet over and spread some more chutney over it. Fold the leaf over to make a parcel and tie it up with a string. If using foil then wrap fish and make a parcel without tying it up.
• Let it marinate for 15-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile heat sufficient water in a steamer, keep the fish parcels on the perforated plate, cover and steam the fish parcels for 8-10 minutes.
• Keep each parcel on a separate serving plate, open the parcels, garnish with lemon slices and serve hot.
