Step 1
Peel and slice the 1 lb lotus root into 1/4 inch rounds. Boil in salted water until just tender, about 10 minutes, then drain.
Step 2
In a blender, combine 1 cup yogurt, 1 chopped tomato, 1 chopped onion, and 1 tsp ground cumin. Blend until smooth.
Step 3
Pour the yogurt mixture into a skillet over medium heat. Stir constantly until it thickens and turns a shade darker, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Add the boiled lotus root to the sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce coats the slices and everything is heated through.
Step 5
Season with salt to taste. Garnish with 1/4 cup chopped cilantro and sliced red chili if desired. Serve hot.
