Method
Tap a step once you've finished it.
- Blend the spice paste ingredients smooth, then fry in the oil in a pan for 5 minutes until fragrant. Cool.
- Drizzle the fish with lime juice, and coat both sides thickly with the spice paste.
- Warm the banana leaves briefly over a flame or in hot water to make them pliable, and wrap each fish; secure with a toothpick.
- Grill over a hot barbecue or in a griddle pan for 7-10 minutes per side (the leaf will darken), until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
- Open the parcels at the table; serve with rice and sambal kicap.

- For whole fish, score the skin in a few places so the spice penetrates.
