Instructions

Wash fish under cold, running water and drain well. Season with tamarind powder and salt and pepper to taste.
In bowl, combine shallots, ginger, garlic, and oil.
Arrange about 2 to 3 pieces of fish on a piece of banana leaf and top with onion mixture.
Fold leaves to enclose fish and tie banana packet with kitchen twine to tightly enclose.
Place banana packets in a thick-bottomed pot and add water.
In low heat, cook for about 20 to 30 minutes or until fish is tender and fully cooked.
Remove fish from banana wrap and serve hot with a dipping sauce of choice.

Notes

A deep, thick-bottomed pot will do, but if you can, use a palayok or clay pot for the best flavor and aroma.
