Aubergine - (Baby)

Fresh Baby Aubergine (Baingan / Brinjal) — Delivered Across the UK

Our Baby Aubergine — known as Baingan, Brinjal, or Ringna across South Asia — is a smaller, more tender variety of aubergine with a thin, edible skin and creamy, flavour-absorbing flesh. Sweeter and more delicate than full-size aubergines, baby aubergines are the go-to choice for Bharwa Baingan, rich gravies, and smoky roasted dishes.

At Curry Kart, our baby aubergines are freshly sourced and hand-selected for firmness, skin integrity, and size consistency — so every piece cooks evenly and delivers maximum flavour.
