What is Uzbek Dumplings with Special Sauce?

Uzbek dumplings with special sauce are plump parcels of dough filled with spiced meat, traditionally steamed in Central Asian cooking. The special sauce pairs yogurt with tomato and is served over the dumplings or alongside them.

They make a hearty main course, with the tender, yielding dough contrasting with the savoury filling and tangy sauce. In Uzbekistan, manti are often served as a substantial family meal; elsewhere, they work well as a warming dinner, especially with a crisp salad to balance the richness. The dough makes this a carbohydrate-forward dish, while the meat contributes protein: a 100 g portion has 7.5 g. Use a lighter hand with the sauce if you prefer a less rich plate.
