Steamed fish

Assam's love for fish is legendary. There are many rivers in Assam and these rivers are sources of some wondetful river fishes. There are hundreds of different procedures of cooking fish curries. Originally steamed fish was cooked in banana leaf. Banana leaf was wrapped around the fish. But using silver or alluminium foil instead of banana leaf is a modern idea. It may be because in cities banana leaf is not very much available. It is easier to cook in silver or alluminium foil. The taste differs in both the case. But it doesn't taste bad.
