Banana leaves have been used in Indian cuisine for thousands of years. Smearing chutney on a fresh piece of a white flaky fish, then wrapping it in a banana leaf and baking/grilling it provides a unique flavor to this dish. In the Indian holistic science of traditional medicine - Ayurveda, the essential oils from the banana leaf have been known to have digestive properties.
You can use banana leaf or a mustard leaf for this recipe. Usually, I will make a mustard paste, apply it on salmon, and wrap it in a mustard leaf and cook it. However, in this recipe, I am using my mom's tomato chutney on the fish, so I am using a banana leaf.
This is a healthy, flavorful recipe, and restaurants charge a lot of money to serve this simple to make dish. I hope you enjoy it. If, for some reason, you cannot find a banana leaf (always available at your local Latin stores), you can use parchment paper.
