• 300g flour, 1 egg, 120ml water, ½ tsp salt
• 250g lamb or beef mince
• 1 onion, grated and squeezed dry
• 500g thick yoghurt with 2 cloves crushed garlic
• 60g butter, 1 tsp pul biber, 1 tsp dried mint
• sumac to finish

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Knead the flour, egg, water and salt into a firm dough. Rest it 30 min under a bowl.
2. Mix the mince with the squeezed onion and plenty of seasoning.
3. Roll the dough paper thin and cut into 2cm squares. Yes, 2cm — mantı are meant to be tiny.
4. Put a pea-sized dot of filling on each and pinch the four corners up into a little parcel.
5. Boil in salted water 10–12 min until they float and the dough turns translucent.
6. Drain, spoon garlic yoghurt over, then pour over butter sizzled with pul biber and mint. Sumac on top.
