Wash the salt off the eggplants and dry them with paper towel. Melt shortening in a skillet and saute the eggplants and chopped garlic. As you saute the eggplants, put them on a paper towel to absorb the grease. Let cool. Spread 2 to 3 tablespoons yogurt at the bottom of a dish and arrange the eggplants over it. Add some chopped garlic. Repeat this and top the eggplants with yogurt. Keep in the refrigerator till ready to serve. Serve well chilled.
