This recipe was inspired by the food which we had in Hatta island (part of the Spice Islands), Indonesia. We were served grilled tuna with curry paste wrapped in a banana leaf a few times. I always wanted to make it again. Although banana leaves are not available here, I tried it using baking paper instead this time.
