1. Prepare the chaat masala. Then, boil the potatoes in water to cover until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, let cool slightly, then peel and cut in half lengthwise. Press each potato half between the palms of clean hand, to flatten it. (The edges will become ragged.)
2. Heat the oil over medium-high heat and add the cumin seeds and red pepper flakes they should sizzle upon contact with the hot oil. Quickly add the potatoes, coriander, chaat masala, and salt, and cook, turning the potatoes a few times, until golden, 5 to 7 minutes.
3. Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the ginger, green chili peppers, and pomegranate seeds, and cook until the potatoes are rich brown in color and somewhat crusty, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish, top with the mint leaves, and serve.
