Bōñ jaļ (pandanus leaf fish parcels)

Instructions

1. Blanch the pandanus leaves for 2 minutes to soften them, then drain and dry them.
2. Cut the fish into 6 pieces, season with salt and pepper, then wrap each in a pandanus leaf, tying or folding it.
3. Finely slice the onion, garlic and chilli, then fry them for 3 minutes in a saucepan without fat.
4. Add the ginger and coconut milk, bring to a simmer, then season with salt and lime juice.
5. Arrange the parcels in the sauce, cover and cook over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, until the fish is just opaque.
6. Serve lukewarm with rice, letting everyone open their own parcel at the table.
