Homemade Manti is made from small pieces of dough filled with seasoned ground meat, commonly lamb or beef. It is usually served with yogurt and a butter sauce, though fillings and toppings vary between households and regions.
Boil Homemade Manti in salted water until the dough is tender and the filling is cooked through. Fresh and dried dumplings take different amounts of time, so taste one before draining rather than relying only on whether the pieces float.
Homemade Manti is traditionally served hot with garlicky yogurt and melted butter seasoned with red pepper. Add the yogurt after the dumplings have cooled slightly, which helps prevent it from separating.
Yes, you can freeze Homemade Manti before cooking. Arrange the dumplings separately on a tray until firm, then transfer them to a sealed freezer container. Cook them straight from frozen in boiling water instead of thawing them first.
Homemade Manti can fall apart if the dough edges are not sealed firmly or if the filling is overstuffed. Press the seams closed, keep the filling away from the edges, and lower the dumplings gently into boiling water.
Manti is a dumpling dish with roots across Central Asia and a long history in Turkish cuisine. Turkish versions are commonly served with yogurt and butter sauce, while shapes, fillings, and serving traditions differ by region.
A fresh salad, pickles, or a light soup are good accompaniments to Homemade Manti. Since the yogurt and butter sauce makes the dish rich and filling, a crisp, simply dressed salad is an especially practical choice.
Kayseri manti is a regional Turkish style of manti known for its tiny, tightly sealed dumplings. Homemade Manti can follow that style, but home recipes may use larger pieces, different fillings, or other shapes.
Cooked Homemade Manti keeps in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Store the dumplings separately from the yogurt sauce when possible, and reheat them thoroughly before serving.
Yes, Homemade Manti can be served without yogurt, although yogurt is the customary topping in many Turkish recipes. You can use only the spiced butter sauce, or serve the yogurt on the side for everyone to choose.

Homemade Manti are small Turkish dumplings, made by wrapping seasoned minced meat in thin dough and sealing it into little parcels. They are especially associated with Kayseri, though families across Turkey make their own versions. The cooked dumplings are commonly topped with garlic yogurt and melted butter, often seasoned with red pepper or dried mint.
Served hot as a filling main course, they pair well with a crisp salad or pickles. Their dough makes them carbohydrate-forward, while the meat and yogurt contribute protein; a 150 g serving is a substantial portion. For a lighter plate, use a modest amount of butter and keep the yogurt topping simple.
