Source of recipe: This recipe is adapted from an Indian cookbook, and originally called for mangos instead of peaches and lentils instead of garbanzos, plus tomatoes. I don't care much for tomatoes, and I wanted to adapt it to use local ingredients; all of these (except the ginger and spices) came from my local farmer's market.
SO HOW'D IT GO?
