"Sailu says on her blog site: "Aloo Baingan is an easy to make dish from North India. Eggplant and potato make for a fantastic combo and when roasted together in a perfect combination of spices, these vegetables are a match made in heaven." The crispy potatoes and soft eggplant are definitely heavenly. Try this, you'll like it!"
