Mantu is type of dumpling filled with spiced minced meat ( usually beef or lamb), finely chopped onions, and herbs , all wrapped in a thin layer of dough.its then steamed to perfection and served with garlic yogurt sauce and spicy curry.

A Dish full of Culture and care

Making manto is labor of love . Afghan families after prepare it during special gatherings or festive events, specially Eid, weddings the dampling - but the rest is worth every minute.

My Experience With Mantu

When I first time tried Mantu, the soft dumplings melted in my mouth while the garlic yogurt added a creamy twist. The spicy lentils on top brought heat and flavor that balanced the dish perfectly. It's not just food - it's whole experience.❣️
