How to make turkish manti

This was actually our first try of making manti. And we probably made a lot of mistakes. But it was really fun and yummy. First of all classic mant must be more little than that, but this was best we could do at that time:


For the dough :
4 cups flour
1 coffee cup of water
1 egg
 2 teaspoons salt

For the filling :
half an onion
300 g minced
parsley
salt
black pepper

First knead a dough from the ingredients for it. It may seem very small  at the begining but this dose is enough for 4 portions. In our case it was enough for 5 people. 
Begin making the dough with placing the flour into large bowl. In the middle make  a hole where you should add the egg, water and salt. Result must be a stiff dough. 
After that leave it to rest for 1-2 hours. In our video we didn't have time for that so the part for leaving the dough was just a demonstration. 
During which time we prepared stuffing. Chopped onion is mixed with minced meat , parsley and salt and pepper.



Then deceased dough is rolled sufficiently thin , as shown in the video. Cut into small squares.

In the middle of these squares you should put very little part of the filling and then close the manti with the method shown in the video.

Prepared manti must boil in water, as you make any other type of pasta. And serve with sause prepared from yogurt and garlic. On top of that put some red fried in oil red peper or homemade ketshup.
