Basa Fish Curry with Sim er Bichi



Seem or sim is a vegetable that is widely known in the Asias. They are a close relative of the snow peas. In fact, they look very much like snow peas but are just thicker, darker and longer.

If not available though, it can be substituted with lima beans and the taste wouldn't change drastically.
