Dairy free, Gluten free, Low fat, Low sugar, Wheat Free

Dhal is a traditional Indian dish that is ever so easy to make. Though this version contains some spices, its not hot to the palate, so those sensitive to spice will be able to tolerate it. Best of all, it tastes even better the next day and also freezes well, so don't be afraid to make up a big batch.

1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 baby eggplants, cut into small cubes
300 grams potatoes, cut into small cubes

1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
100 grams baby spinach
