Steps:

Tips:

- To prevent the eggplant from absorbing too much oil, slice it thinly and pat it dry with paper towels before cooking.
- For a smoky flavor, grill the eggplant slices over medium-high heat until they are tender and slightly charred.
- To make the garlic sauce, use fresh garlic cloves for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh garlic, you can use ½ teaspoon of garlic powder.
- To make the sauce creamy, use full-fat yogurt or sour cream. If you are using low-fat or non-fat yogurt, you may need to add a little bit of olive oil or water to thin it out.
- Serve the broiled eggplant with the garlic sauce immediately, or chill it for later.
