Frequently Asked Questions About Kulaklı mantı (Turkish ear-shaped dumplings)
What is Kulaklı mantı?
Kulaklı mantı is a Turkish dish made with small, ear-shaped pieces of dough, often cooked with chickpeas in broth. Depending on the regional recipe, it may be served with yogurt, giving it a comforting, soup-like quality.
What is Kulaklı mantı made of?
Kulaklı mantı dough is usually made from flour, water, and salt, sometimes with egg. The shaped pieces are commonly cooked with chickpeas and broth, then served with yogurt or a butter-based topping in some regional versions.
How do you make Kulaklı mantı?
To make Kulaklı mantı, roll out the dough, cut it into small pieces, and fold each piece into an ear-like shape. Cook the pieces with cooked chickpeas in broth until tender, then serve hot with any toppings your recipe uses.
Why is it called Kulaklı mantı?
Kulaklı mantı gets its name from the small dough pieces, which resemble ears when folded. Their precise shape varies from cook to cook, but the ear-like fold is what distinguishes this regional dumpling dish from many other types of mantı.
Where does Kulaklı mantı come from?
Kulaklı mantı is part of Turkey’s regional home cooking, and recipes vary by locality. Since the name and preparation are not tied to one universally agreed place of origin, it is safest to describe it as a traditional regional Turkish dish.
What is the difference between Kulaklı mantı and regular Turkish mantı?
Kulaklı mantı usually has ear-shaped pieces of plain dough rather than the tiny, filled parcels associated with many Turkish mantı recipes. It is often cooked with chickpeas in broth, while other mantı styles are commonly boiled separately and served with sauce.
Does Kulaklı mantı have to contain chickpeas?
No, Kulaklı mantı can be made without chickpeas, though they feature in many traditional versions. If you include them, use cooked chickpeas and add them while the dough is cooking so they warm through without becoming overly soft.
Is Kulaklı mantı served with yogurt?
Kulaklı mantı is sometimes served with yogurt, but yogurt is not essential in every regional recipe. It may instead be served in its chickpea broth, or finished with a little butter-based sauce, depending on local custom.
Can you freeze Kulaklı mantı?
Yes, freeze uncooked Kulaklı mantı pieces in a single layer until firm, then transfer them to a sealed container. Cook them straight from frozen in boiling water or broth; thawing first can make the dough sticky and difficult to handle.
How should you store leftover Kulaklı mantı?
Refrigerate leftover Kulaklı mantı in a covered container once it has cooled, rather than leaving it out for an extended time. Reheat it thoroughly with a splash of water or broth, since the dough can absorb liquid and thicken as it sits.

What is Kulaklı mantı (Turkish ear-shaped dumplings)?
Kulaklı mantı is a Turkish regional dumpling made from small pieces of dough folded into little ear-like shapes. Depending on the local recipe, the dumplings are cooked with chickpeas in broth and served with yogurt. The dough becomes tender and pleasantly chewy, while the chickpeas and broth make the dish heartier and add savoury depth.
In Turkey it is usually served hot as a substantial meal, with yogurt spooned over or alongside; a crisp salad or pickles make a refreshing pairing. The dough makes it a carbohydrate-forward dish, while chickpeas and yogurt add substance. For a lighter bowl, use a modest amount of yogurt and add extra chickpeas or vegetables.
