Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat. Add the dumplings to the boiling water and cook for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until they float to the surface.

In a small saucepan, melt the butter and stir in the tomato paste, chili, sumac, and dried mint. In a separate bowl, mix together yogurt, garlic paste, and a pinch of salt.
