Process for cooking Koi Maach'r Paturi:

1. Soak Mustard Seeds in water for 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile wash the fishes, Pumpkin leaves and Rice separately. Set them aside.
3. Take Mustard seed in a grinding bowl and add Turmeric Powder, Salt and Green Chili to it and grind them together. You need to make a fine paste. 
4. Mix Onion slices with the Paste. Coat the fishes with Mustard Paste. Pour few drops of Mustard Oil. Wrap each fish with pumpkin Leaves tightly. You can use a cotton thread to wrap the fish.
5. Now keep Rice in a deep bottom frying pan. Add 3.5 cups of Water to the rice. Once it starts boiling, the water level will be reduced. Now place the wrapped Fishes on the top of the rice. Cover the pan with a lid. Medium heat is required now.

Have you noticed, the rice has got yellow colour? You can serve Koi Paturi with that rice. Don't throw away the Pumpkin Leaves. You can grind it with 1 Green Chili and little Salt.
