Branzino Cooked in Banana Leaves

Inspired by coastal India, this dish features Kerala-style branzino cooked in banana leaves until flaky and tender. But the real star of the plate is Chef Manish's malabar sauce, a coconut-based curry sauce that's spiced but not spicy, creamy, and just a little sweet. The rich sauce pairs excellently with branzino — a buttery, yet light white fish — and a side of simply wilted baby spinach, making this dish feel perfectly balanced and satisfying.

About Manish Mallick
One of Chef Manish Mallick's greatest passions is meeting new people and forming meaningful connections along the way. He discovered that the hospitality industry lets him do just that everyday. Mallick wanted to elevate the Indian dining experience by bringing progressive, artful, vibrant, and fun concepts to the Chicago community. He has accomplished this with the launch of Bar Goa in the River North neighborhood and ROOH Chicago in the West Loop. Community service is another major passion for Mallick.
