Green masala fish in banana leaves

The Gujarati-speaking Parsi community in Pakistan have a distinct flavour to their cuisine. This is a classic recipe that only seems to vary ever so slightly from one Parsi home to the next. It’s a recipe I picked up from friends growing up. You can use a whole fish, or pieces; you can cook the fish on the barbecue, you can shallow-fry, or steam the banana-leaf parcels in a steamer.
