Reduce the burning up to low, seal the skillet, and let it cook thoroughly for 10 moments until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork—avoid overcooking to keep it soft.

mix gently in the beaten egg bit by bit, preparing for 2 more moments until the gravy thickens slightly, which adds a hearty, custard-like texture.

While the curry simmers, prepare the banana leaves by briefly passing them over a gas flame for 10 seconds to make them pliable, or use parchment paper as a handy alternative.
