  2. Combine oil mixture, yoghurt, ginger and turmeric in a bowl. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Arrange the fish in a single layer in a large glass or ceramic dish. Spoon over the yoghurt mixture, turning the fish to evenly coat. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 3 hours to develop the flavours.

  5. Place fish parcels in a large bamboo steamer over a large saucepan of boiling water. Steam for 8-10 minutes or until the fish flakes with a fork. Serve immediately.
