Method

1. 1

   In a bowl combine flour, salt, eggs and water; knead into a smooth dough and let rest for 20 minutes.

   Roll the dough thin and cut into 4 cm squares. Place a teaspoon of cheese filling on each, fold into triangles and seal the edges tightly.

3. 3

   Bring a large pot of salted water to boil, add the manti and cook 8‑10 minutes until they float to the surface.

4. 4

   Whisk the yogurt, then stir in dried mint and melted butter until smooth.

5. 5

   Drain the cooked manti, arrange on a serving plate and drizzle with the yogurt sauce.

6. 6

   Optionally garnish with extra melted butter and a pinch of paprika before serving.

Note. Press the dumpling edges firmly to prevent the filling from leaking during cooking.
