Jeez! Baingan bharta (or begun bhorta if Bengali) is NOT just generic "Eggplant Curry"!!!🤦 We make other things with aubergines as well...begun bhaji, bhaja begun, bagara/Hyderabadi begun, khatta begun... www.foodandwine.com/baingan-bhar...

Baingan Bharta Is a Smoky, Savory Celebration of Eggplant

Mash grilled eggplant, Kashmiri chile powder, onion, ginger, and garlic together to make baingan bharta, a North Indian side dish.

Also, if Bengali this is bhajja begun bhorta where the onions are fried & the mashed aubergine is refried versus kacha begun bhorta where the onions are raw and the mashed aubergine isn't refried. I love both. So even begun bhorta isn't just begun bhorta!
