Ingredients:  
For 4 servings  
700 g. (1 1/2 lbs.) fillet of freshwater fish, cut into small pieces
3 tbs. instant red curry paste
1 cup coconut milk
1 egg
1 tsp. salt
2 red fresh chillies, cut into long strips
1/2 tbs. minced galingale
1/2 tbs. kaffir lime leaves, finely sliced
3 tbs. sweet basil leaves
2 tbs. coriander leaves
5 25 x 15 cm. (10 x 6 inches) banana leaves
10 toothpicks
 
 

Preparation:

1. In a food processor, blend the fish with curry paste until mixed well. Remove. This becomes the fish paste.
2. In a mixing bowl, mix the fish paste with coconut milk, egg, salt and minced galingale. Stir until all blended well. Separate the fish paste into 5 portions.
3. On each banana leaf, place 1/5th of the sweet basil leaves, and top with one portion of the fish paste. Sprinkle with 1/5th of the kaffir lime leaves and fresh chillies.
4. Fold the banana leaf to wrap all the mixture into a rectangular shape. Secure the edges with toothpicks.
5. Repeat until all the fish paste is finished.
6. Steam the fish in the leaves in a steamer for approximately 20 minutes. Remove and charcoal-broil until the banana leaves become dark.
7. Serve when hot.

Note : "Ab" in Northern Thai dialect means steamed and then charcoal-broiled.
