- Marinate the fish pieces in a steel tiffin box with salt, turmeric powder, mustard paste, 2-3 tbsp of water and 1½ tbsp of mustard oil. Place the slit green chillies on the top of each fish pieces. Drizzle the remaining mustard oil on the top. Cover with the tiffin box a lid, let it marinate for at least 15 to 20 minutes.
- Take a cooking pot with lid, where the tiffin box can fit in. Place a metal rack, Pour boiling water into the pot, place the tiffin box, cover the pot with lid, over high heat, let it cook for 5 minutes, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for another 15 minutes.
- Turn off the heat, let it sits for at least 10 minutes, then serve with steamed rice and enjoy!

Notes
If you don’t have metal tiffin box you can use a cake pan. For steaming cover the pan with foil.
