Directions:
Slice eggplant into 1/2" rounds, brush with oil, put on cookie sheet in hot (around 400) oven or broiler. Turn when browning, cook until lightly brown on both sides and softened. Meanwhile, slice onions, cook slowly in oil until brown, in a large skillet. Add 1 clove garlic, chopped, the cumin/garam masala (a spice mixture available in Indian food stores) and chopped green chili. Slice tomatoes. Put yogurt in a paper coffee filter and cone to consolidate and drain off liquid. A cloth in a collandar can be used also. Take onions out of skillet or push to one side. Put one layer of eggplant slices in the skillet. Put a large spoonful of onion mixture on each slice. Put on another eggplant slice on each, and top with a tomato slice. Put any extra onion mixture on top. Add 1/2 cup water, cover the skillet and simmer until the eggplant slices are very soft. Maybe 15 minutes. Put 2 cloves of garlic through garlic press and stir into the thickened yogurt. TO SERVE: Carefully transfer one or two stacks of eggplant/onion/eggplant/tomato to each plate, top with garlic yogurt and serve with rice or Indian/Pakistani/Afghan flat bread "nan" or "chappati".
