About Manti
Manti (Turkish: mantı; Kazakh: мәнті, pronounced [mæntɘ́]; Kyrgyz: манты, [mɑntɯ́]; Uzbek: manti, [mantɨ́]; Persian: منتو), are a type of stuffed pasta or dumpling in Turkish and various Central Asian and Caucasian cuisines, closely related to the east Asian mantou, baozi, and mandu. Manti dumplings consist of a spiced meat mixture, usually lamb or ground beef, in a dough or pasta wrapper, formed into a ball and either boiled or steamed. 'Manti' may be either singular or plural.
