NOTES : Here's a recipe which I've been making for years.
9
This is the original recipe from the Golden brown Temple of Conscious Cookery in Washington, D.C.

It makes a large amount, so the recipe can be halved, or possibly even quartered and it still works out well.

I like more vegetables than the original calls for, so I usually double the amount there.
