They are Uzbek-style dough parcels usually filled with seasoned meat and cooked by steaming, then served with a yogurt-and-tomato sauce. The listed dish is classified as processed; homemade versions let you choose the ingredients and seasoning.
Uzbek dumplings are commonly filled with minced lamb or beef, often mixed with onion and spices. Recipes vary by household and region, and some versions use pumpkin instead of meat or alongside it.
Uzbek dumplings are traditionally steamed rather than boiled. They are arranged with space between them in a tiered steamer over boiling water, so the dough cooks without the parcels sitting in liquid.
The sauce for Uzbek dumplings with special sauce is based on yogurt and tomato. Garlic, herbs, or spices may be added in different recipes; mixing the yogurt in gently helps keep it from splitting in a hot sauce.
Uzbek dumplings are typically larger, meat-filled parcels steamed in a tiered pot. Turkish manti are usually much smaller and boiled; they are often served with yogurt and a seasoned butter or tomato topping.
Uzbek dumplings belong to the manti tradition found across Central Asia and neighboring regions. Their exact fillings and serving sauces vary, but steaming large parcels of dough is characteristic of many Uzbek preparations.
Yes, freeze Uzbek dumplings before adding the sauce. Arrange the uncooked parcels separately on a tray until firm, then transfer them to a sealed freezer container; steam them from frozen when ready to cook.
Refrigerate leftover Uzbek dumplings in a covered container, preferably separate from the sauce, and eat them within a few days. Reheat until the filling is thoroughly hot, using a steamer or microwave.
The dough usually splits when the parcels are overfilled or their edges are not sealed firmly. Keep filling away from the edges, press the seams closed, and leave room between dumplings in the steamer.
Yes, you can steam Uzbek dumplings without a tiered steamer by setting a heatproof rack or perforated insert above simmering water in a covered pot. Keep the dumplings above the water and leave space for steam to circulate.

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.
