PATRANI MACCHI :
Steamed Fish on Banana Leaves

Chef Kundan from Karma Royal Haathi Mahal shares this secret recipe from the menu at Casa Lisboa at Haathi Mahal resort. It features banana leaves that provide such a beautiful way to present meals such as plates, wraps and parcels.  In the  ‘Patrani Macchi’, the banana leaves are used for wrapping fish for grill-steaming – the fragrant leaves help to seal in moisture and infuse a subtle aroma.

P.S. You can usually pick up banana leaves at any local Asian grocery.
