1. 1

   For the dough: In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Gradually add warm water, mixing until a firm dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rest for at least 30 minutes.

   💡 نصائح احترافية: The dough should be firm but pliable. Resting allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll.
2. 2

   For the filling: In a bowl, combine minced meat, finely chopped onion, crushed cumin seeds, coriander powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined.

   💡 نصائح احترافية: Ensuring the onion is very finely chopped helps it distribute evenly and cook through.
3. 3

   Divide the dough into small portions. Roll each portion very thinly into a circle (about 4-5 inches in diameter).

   💡 نصائح احترافية: The thinner the dough, the more delicate the manti will be.
4. 4

   Place about 1-2 tablespoons of filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape, then bring the two corners together and pinch to seal, forming a traditional manti shape. Alternatively, you can simply fold into a crescent or square.

   💡 نصائح احترافية: Ensure the edges are well sealed to prevent the filling from escaping during frying.
5. 5

   Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Carefully place the manti in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.

   💡 نصائح احترافية: Maintain a consistent oil temperature to ensure even frying without burning.
6. 6

   Remove fried manti from the pan and drain on paper towels.

   💡 نصائح احترافية: Draining excess oil is crucial for a less greasy final product.
7. 7

   For the yogurt sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt, minced garlic, chopped dill, dried mint, and a pinch of salt.

   💡 نصائح احترافية: Allow the garlic to meld with the yogurt for at least 10 minutes before serving for a milder flavor.
8. 8

   Serve the hot, fried manti immediately with the spiced yogurt sauce on the side.

   💡 نصائح احترافية: These are best enjoyed fresh and hot.
