Rinse beans and chickpeas and soak covered with water for 2 hours. Rinse lentils thoroughly.

Blanch tomatoes, rinse, peel, quarter and remove seeds, and cut into small cubes.

Heat ghee in a large saucepan, add ground spices and sesame seeds and sauté until fragrant. Stir in beans, chickpeas, and lentils and continue to sauté until warmed.
