Patot diya maas is an Assamese delicacy that celebrates the simplicity of fresh fish and the gentle touch of traditional cooking. The fish is coated with turmeric, mustard oil, and a blend of spices, then carefully wrapped in banana leaves before being steamed. The leaf imparts a subtle earthy aroma while keeping the fish moist and tender. Light, wholesome, and fragrant, this dish is often enjoyed with plain steamed rice, making it a comforting meal.
