Traditional Turkish Mantı | Homemade Dough, Beef Filling, Garlic Yogurt #shortsfeed

Cook like a grandma: with a bit of patience, a touch of curiosity, and lots of olive oil.
Mantı is one of those dishes that slows the whole house down. Not because it’s complicated, but because it invites everyone to the table long before the food is ready. My grandmother used to fold mantı with the quiet focus of someone who had done it a thousand times, shaping each little square the same way she shaped a conversation… slowly, steadily, without rushing anyone.
She believed the dough should feel alive under your hands, and that the filling should be soft enough to shape but sturdy enough to hold its place. I didn’t understand why she took so much care with such tiny pieces of dough, until I grew old enough to realise that these small rituals are what make a meal memorable.
Mantı takes time, but it teaches good lessons. Pay attention to the dough. Don’t overmix the meat. Keep flour nearby. And don’t be shy about asking for help! This dish was never meant to be made alone. If you’re new to cooking, mantı will show you how dough responds to your hands. If you’re seasoned, you already know that folding these little parcels can feel strangely grounding.
Serve with garlic yogurt, pepper sauce, mint, and red pepper flakes… and eat it right away, while it’s warm enough to remind you why Anatolia still calls this dish a celebration.
