    Manthu Recipe

    Salaam Alaikum folks!


    Okey so... I love manthu and made it a week or two ago and it just didnt seem right. The problem was the red and white sauces... I just cant seem to agree with the taste that I get from them. Is there any regular manthu maker here who can help me out here? For about 40 manthu dumplings exactly how much sauce would you need? I'm planning on making it again either this weekend or the next inshallah so yeah, thanks a bunch in advance
    I desire that which is Just - House of Dukemina.

    Homemade Mantu Recipe



    The Afghan homemade Mantu recipe, is one of the top dishes of the country. Mantu which can be spelled as Manto, Mantto, or Mantoo is a mixed ground beef dumplings and serves in special occasions and gatherings.
    Lets start the process of how to make dumplings.

    Ingredients of Afghan homemade mantu recipe/dumplings recipe:



    • 1 Lb ground beef
    • 1 1/8 tbsp salt ( as needed)
    • 1 tbsp pepper (as needed)
    • 1 ½ tbsp coriander ground
    • ¼ tbsp cumin ground
    • 2 large finely chopped onions
    • 1 package wonton wrappers
    • 2 tbsp tomato paste
    • 6 tbsp oil
    • ¾ cup yogurt
    • ¼ tbsp dried mint
    • 2 mashed garlic glovesand
    • boiled water



    1) Filling: Combine ground beef, onions, salt, pepper, cumin, coriander ground and 1 cup water in a skillet; stir and cook over medium heat for 30 minutes or until all the water is absorbed. Let it cool off.

    2) Place wrappers on a cutting board covered lightly with flour one at a time then pure 1 cup of cold water in a bowl. Dip your index finger in the bowl of water and rub the edges of the wrapper to make it wet. Place one table stingy of the mixed beef on the bottom half of the wrapper. Bring the other half on top of the bottom half making a triangle. Take two opposite corners each in different hands and seal them together making a bow. Place the oil in a bowl and dip the bottoms of the filled mantu in oil and place them in a (steam cooker) or you can spray some oil inside the steam cooker. Both ways can be possible then steam the dumplings for 40 minutes or longer on a medium heat.

    3) Sauce: While waiting, place the remaining of the mixed beef filling in the skillet with tomato paste and cook it uncovered for 10 minutes.
    4) Yogurt: Add garlic, 2 teas thingy water and mint to the yogurt mix.
    5) To serve, put a layer of the yogurt on a flat serving plate ghori; then place the mantu on top of the yogurt plate. Afterward put another layer of yogurt on top of the manto and add a layer of the mixed beef sauce. Then sprinkle some fresh or dry mint on top of the plate. Now your delicious Afghan mantu is ready to serve.

    I think Laila has a good recipe.
    Even Adobe Photoshop can't change me.

    A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

    For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


    The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

        Thank you so much.
        I first tried it in Tajikistan then in an Afghani restaurant in Dubai of The United Arab Emirates . There's something a bit close called Sheesh Barak which you can eat in Syria , and some other countries I think , I like it so much .

        I miss Mantu , I'm in Kuwait and I don't know where to find it, so maybe I will try making it maybe with my mum's help .

              mantu is so overrated.

              I am no bird, and no nest ensnares me.

              non commercial would cost less if he was in charge himself which he plans on doing. right now it's n herat but soon it will be in qanadahar.

                          have u ever even had manut?????

                          even the aroma of mantu can beat anyy samosa and all its friends back to extinction...as if they never existed before.

                            I made my very first Mantu , my family seemed to like it .
                            Thanks to Dukemina and Admin Khan .

                            But I didn't like the idea of using the samosa wrappers , it doesn't taste the same .
