1

Wash the whole fish thoroughly and ensure it is dry with no water inside.

2

Make 5 cuts on one side of the fish and then turn it over and make cuts on the other side as well.

3

Prepare a food color mixture using yellow and orange food coloring and apply it all over the fish, including inside.

4

In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of besan, 1 tablespoon of coriander powder, 1 tablespoon of cumin powder, and 1 tablespoon of chili powder.

5

Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of oil to the dry ingredients and mix well until combined.

6

If the mixture seems dry, add an additional 2 tablespoons of oil to ensure it is not dry.

7

Apply the spice mixture generously all over the fish, making sure it gets into the cuts and inside the cavity.

8

Let the fish marinate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour, or overnight if possible, to allow the flavors to penetrate.

9

Wrap the marinated fish tightly in a folding wrap, ensuring no part of the fish is exposed.

10

Prepare a steamer by adding water to a pot until it reaches halfway up the steamer stand.

11

Place the wrapped fish in the steamer and cover it, cooking for about 40 minutes.

12

After 40 minutes, check the fish; if there is excess water, it should be visible in the pot.

13

Remove the fish from the steamer and unwrap it carefully.
