Aloo Baingan Sabzi

"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." I haven't tried this yet, but as soon as I have the spices it's first on my list!"
