“Simple and flavourful, aloo baingan is a dish made with a combination of eggplants and potatoes, cooked together with onions, tomatoes, and various spices. The name of the dish specifies its key ingredients, since aloo means potatoes, and baingan means eggplant,” according to TasteAtlas.

It is a type of sabzi (dry curry) that is usually served with flatbreads such as roti and naan.

While Aloo Baingan landed in the worst-rated foods list, several desi foods were listed among the top 100 best dishes in the World to try in 2024.
