How to cook manti? Quite a difficult question, because there are a lot of technologies for their preparation. But still there are some secrets from experienced housewives, following which you will be able to surprise your family with a fragrant, juicy and very tasty dish. So, we prepare manti at home.

Ingredients:
500 g of flour,
0.5 tbsp. Water (cold),
2 eggs,
About 100 grams of fatty fat (to taste, but you can not add),
700-750 grams of young lamb,
300 g of beef.

And now how to make manti. The dough is kneaded from eggs, water and white flour. After mixing the dough, from time to time we add water (we need to take into account that the water should be cold) and wait until the dough turns dense and elastic. It must be wrapped in cloth and left for half an hour, due to this it will take a good shape and become softer. Meat (lamb or veal) should be cut into small pieces and seasoned with spices, garlic or onions. For special taste, you can add fat or fat to mince. The dough is rolled, but not very thin, then cut into strips and then into squares. The size of the mantles you can choose yourself, but in the traditional sense, the size of the test for one mantle should be about 5x5 cm. Then a ball rolls out of the squares and rolls into an oblong cake. On this cake put a teaspoon of ground meat and two fingers wrapped around the edges. Hand should be moistened with water or oil so that the dough does not stick. Then, on the other hand, the mantles are twisted in such a way that the filling is completely hidden under the dough layer. Stitched seams on the mantle should look like an elongated letter "n". We put all the manti at the same time in boiling water and make a small fire. They are cooked, covered up to half a lid, will be 25-30 minutes. After 35 or 40 minutes we take out the mantles and filter through a sieve under cold water. Eat them best with sauce or vinegar.

Here is the second recipe for how to make manti . First you need to make minced meat. To do this, we take one large onion, clean it, clean a few potatoes. Cut the potatoes and onions into cubes, mix them with minced meat, then add spices and various seasonings to taste. From eggs, flour and water, prepare the dough, which needs to stand for 40 minutes. Then we roll it into strips about 10 by 10 cm. Put a teaspoon of minced meat into the dough and connect the four edges of the dough so that the stuffing is inside closed. Put the mantles on a greased grate in a special saucepan. Set the grate over boiling water and leave for 40 minutes to cook. You can decorate manties with chopped greens or season with spices. It would be nice to pour them sauce or sour cream.

The third recipe: how to cook Uzbek manti

We take the following products (approximately 12 pieces):
Lamb - 450 grams,
Fat - 45 g (to taste, you can not add),
Onions - 500 g (can be more)
Flour - 320 grams,
Water 20 g,
Salt - to taste,
pepper.

In the Uzbek version of the dish, the main product is lamb. This is due to the geographical location of the country and to local culinary preferences.
Lamb is finely chopped or chopped, seasoned with salt and various spices, and cuts onions. From the prepared dough thin cakes are rolled (at the edges of the dough should be a little thinner than the middle). In the middle of the flat cake put a small portion of minced meat, and from above put a piece of fat, seasoned with spices. After that, wrap the product, giving it a rounded shape. Close the edges so that the seams appear. Manties are prepared in a steam boiler, small in volume. Top should be covered with a lid. The approximate cooking time is 40 minutes from the moment the water boils. When the cooked dish is served to the table, it should be poured with meat broth and decorate with greens. In addition, you can serve sour cream or sour milk in the sauce bowl.
