• 1 - Make Dumpling Dough:
  In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Slowly add water while mixing until a smooth, elastic dough forms. Knead for 8–10 minutes, cover, and let rest.
• 2 - Prepare Filling:
  Sauté finely chopped onions in a pan until translucent. Add ground beef, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, black pepper, and salt. Cook until beef is browned and fully cooked. Let cool.
• 3 - Shape Mantu Parcels:
  Roll the dough out thinly on a floured surface. Cut into 8cm squares. Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each, fold four corners toward the center and pinch to seal forming a neat parcel.
• 4 - Steam Dumplings:
  Place dumplings in a steamer basket lined with cabbage leaves or parchment paper to prevent sticking. Steam over boiling water for 20 minutes until dough is tender and filling cooked through.
• 5 - Prepare Tomato Sauce:
  In a small saucepan, heat tomato paste with a little water and a pinch of salt to make a smooth sauce. Warm through and adjust consistency.
• 6 - Garnish and Serve:
  Arrange cooked mantu parcels on serving plates, spoon tomato sauce over them, drizzle melted butter if using, and dollop plain yogurt on top. Sprinkle dried mint if desired. Serve warm.
