Manti, also known as Turkish Ravioli is a popular dish made with small, savory, and tender dumplings. They are filled with a juicy and flavorful mixture of meat and spices.
Turkish Manti is traditionally served with tangy garlic yogurt and drizzled with spicy butter sauce, adding even more depth to this famous Turkish dish.
Though making Manti requires some effort and time, the end result is definitely worth it. These are the ingredients you need for making Manti dumplings.
On a floured surface, use a thin rolling pin called an 'oklava' to roll out one of the dough balls into a circle as thin as possible, approximately 18 inches in diameter.
You can roll the dough out using a pasta machine if you have one. It will make the process much quicker. Cut the dough into 1" squares using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter.
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.
