Gurza, the traditional manti of Azerbaijani cuisine, is made by wrapping a filling of ground lamb and onion in thinly rolled dough and boiling it. Unlike Kayseri-style manti, it's shaped into larger pieces and served with vinegary garlic yogurt.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Knead the dough

20 min

Knead the flour, egg, lukewarm water, and salt, then cover and let rest for 20 minutes.

2

Prepare the filling

10 min

Mix the ground lamb, grated onion, cumin, dried mint, salt, and black pepper.

3

Shape the manti

20 min

Roll out the dough thinly and cut into large squares, place some filling in and seal the corners tightly into a triangle shape.

4

Boil

15 min

Boil the manti in plenty of salted boiling water until they float to the surface and cook a few minutes more.

5

Serve

5 min

Drizzle over strained yogurt mixed with garlic and vinegar, then serve hot with melted butter.

Reminder

Important: After rolling the dough thin, press the edges firmly closed with moistened fingers; poorly sealed mantı will open while boiling and release the filling into the water. Allergen: contains wheat (gluten), egg, milk and dairy products.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Adding a few drops of vinegar and crushed garlic to the yogurt right at serving time lets you fully capture gurza's traditional sour-garlic flavor.
