Step 1

Combine the flour, salt, and water in a bowl. Add more water if the dough is too dry. Pour the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes to form a soft and elastic dough.

Step 2

Cover the dough and set aside for 15 minutes.

Step 3

Add your filling ingredients to a pan. Fry for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Turn off the heat and set aside to cool.

Step 5

In a bowl, combine the yoghurt, garlic, mint and pepper. Mix together to form a lovely sauce for the base of your dumplings.

Step 6

In a saucepan, add in your tomato sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil and then leave to simmer for 15 minutes.

Step 7

Get your dough and cut in half. Roll out the dough until it's 3mm thick and cut into equal 2.5 by 2.5 inch squares.

Step 8

Add 1 or 2 tsps of the meat filling into the centre of the wrapper. Bring all four corners of the wrapper into the centre and then seal each side down to the corners to form a little parcel. Pinch the two ends of each corner and bring together (see video on Instagram for details).

Step 9

Steam the dumplings for 8 minutes.

Step 10

On a plate, smother the yoghurt sauce as a base layer. Secondly, gently place the dumplings on top of the yoghurt sauce. Finally, drizzle the tomato sauce over the Afghan Mantu.

Step 11

Serve up and enjoy!
