Background: I first tasted this homemade version while traveling to New Jersey with my friend Susan. We were staying with her friend Barbara and were so excited to know she was making us one of our favorite Indian dishes for dinner. Barbara graciously shared her recipe, we both loved it and couldn't wait to get home and make it! And now we do, often! xo
