There is a small but subtle difference between Mutabbal and Baba Ganoush. It is especially confusing because both dishes exist in a different style but under the same name in different countries. Middle Eastern Mutabbal is equivalent to Turkish Baba Ganoush. In addition, there is also a Middle Eastern version of Baba Ganoush. Unlike the Turkish Baba Ganoush (= Middle Eastern Mutabbal), Middle Eastern Baba Ganoush contains other vegetables besides eggplant.
