Never mind, you could try the same recipe with other edible leaves. For e.g. you could try it with turmeric plant leaves. Turmeric is a rhizome that is dried and powdered to a bright yellow colored spice, and used extensively in Indian food.Urban Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05753898797737223631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3275304409232364661.post-52279972681497685672009-09-22T14:50:21.700-07:002009-09-22T14:50:21.700-07:00Yum!

On special occasions, we eat off a banana leaf (use it like a plate). Banana leaf is considered to have nutrient and medicinal properties and when in contact with warm food served on it, is absorbed by the food we eat.Urban Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05753898797737223631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3275304409232364661.post-223130204276346132009-09-22T10:17:53.608-07:002009-09-22T10:17:53.608-07:00I am drooling...

It is a good idea to wrap to whole fish... wrapping would give more banana leaf aroma to the fish. I would want to try steaming fish like this one day.

I have about 50 (or 60+... who's counting?) banana plants and sometimes they all start fruiting at the same time.
