The name of the dish specifies its key ingredients, since aloo means potatoes, and baingan means eggplant. Basically, it is a type of sabzi (dry curry) that is usually served with flatbreads such as roti and naan. Aloo baingan is a popular Indian lunch item that is commonly packed in lunchboxes throughout Northern India.

Let's agree, we share a love-and-hate relationship with baingan, and that is majorly because of our personal food preferences. But claiming it to be one of the worst foods in the world could be a bit of exaggeration, feels the desi foodies.

A person wrote, "I would prefer it over many dishes I have eaten (if made correctly, of course). A comment read, "Banane nehi aata hoga unhe (Maybe they can't make it properly)." A third person wrote, "Those who voted, haven't had the actial aloo baingan. It's one of my favourites."
