Grind together coriander leaves, mint leaves, ginger, garlic, green chillies, coconut, lime juice and salt to make a 'chutney''. Wash the plantain leaves and cut them into pieces big enough to wrap one piece of the fish. Take a piece of fish and apply a little of the 'chutney' on both the sides and place it on a plantain leaf. Fold the leaf so that the fish piece is covered properly. Tie the leaf with a small piece of thread and keep aside. Similarly wrap all the fish pieces and place them in a vessel which fits into your pressure cooker. Put some water in the pressure cooker and place the vessel with the fish pieces on a stand and cook up to 4-5 whistles. The fish is ready to be served.
