wrap filling
用香蕉叶把内陷包起

press the ends firmly together
两端捏紧

以竹签扎实

place otah onto baking sheet and bake in preheated oven of 180 degrees C for 25 mins
裹好的乌达码在烤盘上，送入预热至 180摄氏度烤箱烤 25分钟即可

Personal notes/温馨小贴士: – i did not have fresh curry leaves, so i used 1 tbsp dried curry leaves
咋们家木有新鲜咖喱叶。我用了 1大勺干咖喱叶

– do not attempt to spoon too much fish paste onto a leaf as it will puff up during the baking process. as such, do ensure that you have the leaf overlapping one another for otherwise, your otah will bake out to look like incredible hulk!
故烘焙过程中鱼胶会膨胀，所以建议每片香蕉叶不要勺入太多（鱼胶）；而且裹内陷时，需确保左右侧的香蕉叶互搭/重叠。如此，烤出来的乌达就不会像 “无敌浩克” 哈！
