Sheem bhaji - Bangladeshi mangetout sauté

Bangladeshi cuisine is rich in vegetarian dishes, eaten as part of a multi-course meal or as a main for a simple lunch or dinner. Sheem, or uri as it’s also known in the Sylheti Bengali dialect, is a type of mangetout found in southern Asia that's a little thicker in texture and larger in size than the ones found in the UK. They’re widely available in Bangladeshi grocery shops, however you may substitute with the mangetout found in supermarkets if they're proving tricky to source. Serve with plain rice and, if you can find them, a wedge of Bangladeshi lime (lebu), which is highly aromatic and eaten in small bites with food – favoured for its rind rather than its juice.
