Baingan lonje is a type of a vegetable which is made out of eggplants and it is very popular in Uttar Pradesh. In this vegetable, onion and whole spices are blended to prepare a spice paste which is applied to the pieces of eggplant and then shallow fried. This is a very different recipe to cook eggplants from what we normally make. It tastes very delicious and flavourful because of the freshly made spice paste.
