Instructions

1. 1.
   In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of boiled and mashed potatoes with 1/4 cup chickpea flour. Mix thoroughly to create a smooth, consistent batter. This will help bind the pancake together, giving it a crispy exterior when cooked.
2. 2.
   Add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin to the potato mixture, stirring well to incorporate the spice evenly. Cumin adds a warm, earthy flavor and a subtle aroma that enhances the taste of the potato pancake. Ensure the spice is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
3. 3.
   Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Scoop the potato batter into the skillet, flattening it with a spatula to form a pancake about 1/4 inch thick. Cook until the edges are golden brown and the center feels firm to the touch, about 3-4 minutes per side. If the batter starts sticking or breaking apart, adjust the heat as needed and ensure your skillet is well-oiled.
4. 4.
   While the pancake cooks, prepare the mint yogurt dip. In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup plain yogurt with 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh mint. Stir until the mint is evenly distributed, and the yogurt appears smooth and creamy. The mint will refresh and complement the spices in the pancake.
5. 5.
   Serve the warm potato pancake immediately with a side of mint yogurt dip. The crispy texture of the pancake paired with the cool, tangy yogurt creates a delightful contrast that is both refreshing and satisfying. If you experience any sticking while cooking, ensure the skillet is at the right temperature and coated properly.
