Arrive at chef Asha's home in Singapore during Deepavali month.

Chef Asha prepares the ingredients for the dish Patroni Machi.

Combine grated coconut, 1 dried chili, pine nuts, smoked paprika, cream pepper, ground cardamom, and salt to taste in a bowl.

Use a mortar and pestle to make a thick sauce with the combined ingredients.

Take a portion of the sauce and spread it on top of the fish, ensuring it is thick enough to coat the fish.

Marinate the fish with the sauce and place it in the fridge for 5 minutes.

Prepare a banana leaf by washing and drying it, then heat it over the fire to soften it.

Wrap the marinated fish in the softened banana leaf, folding it securely.

Place the wrapped fish in a dry pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes, keeping the lid on to trap heat.

Check the fish for doneness; it should be fully cooked and moist.
