I've got a fair few, but I'm starting to get bored of them because most of them have a base of garlic, onion, and canned tomatoes.

That said, I just had chipotle shakshuka. It was pretty solid.

      Remember that when you're making a dal you can always fry some chunks of eggplant or zucchini (or other things like squash or potato) and add them in so you're getting extra veggies. Or if you're tired, even a few handfuls of frozen peas at the end of cooking a plain dal goes really well too.

          Actually making that image reminded me of one of my favourite desserts which happens to be beans and rice lol.

          This is something that is probably more to your taste if you appreciate Asian style sweet bean desserts so you might not love it but there's this Vietnamese dish called Che Dau Trang which is black eyed peas and sticky rice with coconut milk.

          Here's one recipe for it but if you're making it on the cheap just use padan essence. I tend to add sugar to the beans and rice and skip the coconut sauce step, opting to pour unsweetened coconut cream over the rice instead because it's simpler and just as good.

          Viets eat this hot which is nice in winter but tbh I really enjoy the dish at least as much when it's cold, straight out of the fridge.
