Recipe inspired by "Pomegranates and Saffron" cookbook

I'm so excited about this new cookbook that I had to try a recipe. I have adapted it to suit my taste.
Original has wheat flour but I substituted my homemade red lentil flour because it is healthier and besides I can't eat wheat. No ham, onion, or green pepper in the original. Original calls for sugar as well, but my version is savory.

The name in Azerbaijani is lalanqa. It is a specialty of western Azerbaijan.

Here's the recipe:

Yogurt Pancake

1/2 cup yogurt
1 egg
Salt and pepper
Bit of red onion finely chopped
Bit of green pepper finely chopped
Bit of ham finely chopped
1/2 cup red lentil flour

Here's the picture (with homemade basil pesto on the side):

I've talked about her wonderful blog before. Now there is a great new book. I love all the pictures and the "words of wisdom". Here's the cover:
