Try adding diced carrots, bell peppers, or potatoes for additional texture and flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Protein Options:<\/strong> While toor lentils are traditionally used in this dhal, you can substitute them with other lentil varieties such as red lentils or green lentils. However, please note that this recipe has only been tested with toor lentils as listed in the ingredients. Other lentil varieties may cook at different rates or absorb varying amounts of liquid, so adjustments may be necessary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spice Adaptations:<\/strong> Adjust the spice levels according to your preference. For a spicier dhal, increase the amount of Kashmiri chili powder or use a hotter chili powder. You can also customize the spice blend by adding garam masala or hot curry powder for extra depth of flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Creaminess Enhancements:<\/strong> If you're out of coconut milk, you can substitute with other dairy-free alternatives such as almond milk or cashew milk. However, keep in mind that the consistency of the dhal may differ slightly depending on the substitute used. I use light coconut milk in this recipe, however it you would like a more creamy dhal feel free to swap for regular coconut milk. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gluten-Free Options:<\/strong> Ensure that your vegetable broth or stock is gluten-free if you have dietary restrictions. Additionally, double-check the labels of spice blends to avoid any hidden gluten ingredients.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>By exploring these variations and substitutes, you can tailor the Aubergine Spinach Dhal to suit your preferences and dietary needs while still enjoying its comforting and aromatic qualities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sides Dishes for Dhal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Complete the Coconut, Aubergine and Spinach Dhal with some these delicious side dishes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Basmati Rice: <\/strong>A classic and fragrant option that pairs perfectly with Aubergine Spinach Dhal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/sweet-corn-pilau-rice\"><strong>Sweetcorn Pilau Rice:<\/strong><\/a> Elevate your meal with this flavoursome rice dish infused with sweetcorn kernels for a delightful pop of sweetness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/zucchini-pilaf\">Zucchini Pilau Rice<\/a>:<\/strong>  Add a twist to traditional pilau rice by incorporating tender zucchini for a fresh and vibrant flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/roasted-cauliflower-rice\"><strong>Roasted Cauliflower Rice<\/strong><\/a>: Enjoy a lower-carb alternative with roasted cauliflower rice, offering a lighter option without compromising on taste or texture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/garlic-greek-yoghurt-naan-bread\"><strong>Greek Yogurt Garlic Naan<\/strong>:<\/a> Indulge with some garlic-infused naan bread, perfect for scooping up the delicious lentils.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/bombay-butternut-squash\"><strong>Bombay Butternut Squash:<\/strong><\/a> A twist on traditional Bombay potatoes, this dish features tender butternut squash seasoned with aromatic Indian spices for a flavourful side to your Aubergine Spinach Dhal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Poppadums:<\/strong> Crunchy and addictive, poppadums make a perfect accompaniment for scooping up dhal.

class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Can I freeze Aubergine Spinach Dhal?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, Aubergine Spinach Dhal freezes well. Allow it to cool completely before transferring it to freezer-safe containers or zip-top bags. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator and then reheat it on the stovetop or in the microwave. You may need to add a little liquid to loosen the dhal when reheating. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1713149632438\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Can I make the Aubergine Spinach Dhal spicier?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Absolutely! We enjoy this one quite mild with the coconut milk, but if you prefer a spicier dhal, Adjust the spice levels according to your preference by using a hot amount chili powder or adding extra chili flakes or fresh green chilies for more heat. Adjust the spices gradually to achieve your desired level of spiciness.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1713149711602\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Can I batch cook the Aubergine Spinach Dhal recipe<\/strong>?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Absolutely!  Simply adjust the quantities of ingredients accordingly when doubling or tripling the recipe. Keep in mind that you may need to use a larger pot or divide the ingredients between multiple pots to accommodate the increased volume. Allow the dhal to cool completely before portioning it into freezer-safe containers for storage. Follow the same freezing and reheating instructions mentioned above.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"Savour the rich flavours of my Aubergine Spinach Dhal, a dish that invites you to embrace the warmth of creamy coconut milk intertwined with an exquisite fusion of Indian spices.
