👨‍🍳 निर्देश

1. 1

   Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine the diced pumpkin, chopped onions, vegetable oil, salt, black pepper, and cumin. Mix well.

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Ensure the pumpkin is diced very finely for even cooking.
2. 2

   Make the dough: In a separate bowl, combine flour and 1 tsp of salt. Gradually add lukewarm water, mixing until a stiff dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

3. 3

   Divide the dough into small portions. Roll each portion very thinly into a circle (about 10 cm in diameter).

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Keep the remaining dough covered to prevent drying.
4. 4

   Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the pumpkin filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal, creating various manti shapes (e.g., half-moon, pleated).

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Ensure the manti are well-sealed to prevent filling from leaking.
5. 5

   Lightly grease a steamer basket or the tiers of a steamer. Arrange the manti in a single layer, ensuring they don't touch each other. Steam for 25-30 minutes, or until the dough is cooked through and slightly translucent.

6. 6

   Serve the pumpkin manti hot, with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt on the side.

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: A drizzle of melted butter can also be added.
