做法
- 沥干浸泡的芥末籽。与椰丝、青辣椒和少许水一起打成浓稠顺滑的酱。芥末酱应该深黄、油亮、辛辣冲鼻。
- 在宽口碗中将芥末椰丝酱与姜黄、克什米尔辣椒粉、酸奶、盐、糖和芥子油混合。充分搅打成浓稠的腌料。
- 加入西鲱鱼块,使每块都裹满腌料。腌制20分钟。
- 在火上把香蕉叶烤至柔软。把一片软化的叶子摊平,中央放一块腌好的鱼,再舀上充足腌料。鱼上摆一根划开的青辣椒。
- 把香蕉叶折叠包裹住鱼:先把对面两侧叠过来,再折另两侧,用棉绳系紧成方形小包。重复处理4块鱼。
- 把鱼包放入蒸笼,以大火沸水蒸18分钟。叶子会略呈橄榄绿色,鱼肉刚熟。上桌时拆开棉绳,让芬芳的蒸汽散出。配热米饭享用;腌料汁会成为天然酱汁。

文化背景
蕉叶蒸西鲱鱼源自孟加拉古老的蒸制技法——在现代炉灶出现之前,这道菜原本是借助煮饭锅冒出的蒸汽,把架在锅上的鱼包蒸熟。这种技法尊重西鲱鱼细嫩的肉质,不会因高温直火而散碎。香蕉叶赋予鱼肉淡淡的草木清香,与芥末完美呼应。比起芥末西鲱鱼,这道菜更精致,常出现在孟加拉中产家庭的周日午餐和西鲱鱼季的宴席上。搭配白米饭是不可妥协的吃法。
