Recipe's preparation

  1. Add rice and raw sugar to TM bowl and mill for 30 secs / speed 10. Set aside.

    Add ‘Marinade Ingredients’ to bowl and chop for 10 secs / speed 8.

    Scrape down sides of bowl and repeat, 10 secs / speed 8.

    Add coconut milk, milled rice and sugar mixture to ‘Marinade Ingredients’, and combine for 5 secs /speed 6.

    Add partially thawed fish and gently mix for 30 secs / speed 2, using spatula to assist as required.

    Add ‘Seasoning Ingredients’, then place the 2 eggs on top and fold mixture for 15 secs / speed 2, be cautious not to over mix.

    Allow fish to marinate for 30 minutes in TM bowl.

    Cut banana leaves or baking paper into shape - square pieces. If using banana leaves, turn your stove top onto low heat and gently fan the banana leaf over the flame - this allows for the oils to be extracted and makes the leaf more flexible to fold without tearing.

    Place 1 TBsp of fish mixture in the middle of the leaf, sprinkle a little chopped lime leaves on top.

    Fold opposite sides of the banana leaf in half, to wrap the fish mixture, and then the other 2 sides to complete the parcel. Use a toothpick to pin them together.

    Place all banana leaf parcels into the Varoma.

    Quickly rinse the TM bowl and fill with 1L of water.

    Steam for 25 mins / Varoma / speed 4.
