Knead flour, egg, salt, and water to make a firm dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Divide the dough into balls, roll them out thinly, and cut into small squares.
Place curd cheese in the center and fold into bundles.
Boil the dumplings in salted water until tender.
Melt the butter and add tomato paste to prepare the sauce.
Serve the dumplings topped with garlic yogurt and the prepared sauce.
Note. Add a little oil to the boiling water to prevent the dumplings from sticking together.
The dough needs to be firm so it doesn't fall apart and stays al dente during boiling.
Traditionally, low-salt curd cheese is preferred.
