🌾 For a GF option serve with rice rather than naan.
🫙 Storage: keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days - the flavour deepens overnight.
❄️ Freezer: freezes well for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat until piping hot throughout.
💡 The apricots and lentils together are the iron source in this dish - pair with the vitamin C in the lemon squeeze at the end to help your body absorb it more effectively.

I substituted the apricots with dates because that's what I had! To do so, I used ask Gigi, very helpful, love it! Also reduced the coconut milk to make it a little bit lighter. Very rich and tasty!!

I made this, and it was absolutely scrumptious. I couldn't get the eggplant to char, and it was getting mushy, so I just stirred it in with the lentils. All good. I only had six dried apricots, so I added an equivalent amount of raisins. I'll definitely make this again.

Oh yay, I’m so glad it still turned out delicious! And honestly, stirring the eggplant through sounds like a very sensible rescue 😂

You can absolutely use fresh apricots! Just chop them up, making sure they're ripe for the best flavor. You might want to reduce the simmering time slightly so they don’t overcook.

This was delicious! I wish I’d taken a picture, it was gorgeous. I did make it a bit faster by roasting the eggplant as the curry cooked, as I already had the oven on, and this worked well. A great recipe, thanks!

Now I’m wishing you’d taken that photo too! 😂 I love little cooking shortcuts like that, especially when they work just as well. Thanks for giving it a try xx
