How to Make Armenian Style Manti

Crunchy 'boats' of meat pies in a tomato based broth topped with yogurt make for one of the mideast's best but little known delights. Using a pasta roller speeds up the process of creating the boats. Adding nuts, seeds and cilantro along with the onion, parsely and meat create a delicious combination.

@karmonkey1 sigh

It's obvious this is Minnesota, with the Cub foods flour bag. Get some better flour for this instead of store brand. Mantuh is supposed to be much smaller.

[greggdourgarian1]

@Varangian1915 totally agree a higher quality flour would help a lot. Remember though: two types of Monti big and small. Also two pronunciations 'mantuh' and 'manti'

The most of armenian people says that turkish people are so bad.. But why they have only Turkish food and it calls Turkish like Burek, sujuk,lahmajun,pilaf,dolma etc. etc.

When you don't like Turks or the Turkish people, kultur etc. than don't cooking turkish. !!

@melis6775 hi Melis when English speak verbing object transitive should.

We love Turks and Turkish food and music. With a Grandmother was from Istanbul,

how could we not? We especially love Turks of conscience.

Also *lahmajoun is not Turkish or Armenian. It's* from Arabic

: لحم بعجين‎, *laḥm bi'ajīn , "meat with dough"

But we steam it on top of boiling water.

Afghans eat that too! We call is mantu :) It's soooo goood. Especially with thick yogurt mixed with garlic and some mint on top.

@WeThinkAlike1 the "ի" at the end of "աչք" is possessive. Therefore, it would be eye's size, rather than eye size... but ingredients such as salt dont come in sizes.. they come in amounts. so we're right back where we started ;)

[WeThinkAlike1]

@Hbardhye89 that actually meens eye size but your right anyway

[Hbardhye89]

@doumkatekkatek Armenians don't cook with specific amounts. Everything is աչքի չափ, which literally translates to "your eye's amount," meaning whatever looks good haha.

[doumkatekkatek]

Could you post a recipe with specific amounts? These look wonderful but I need a recipe to start with. I looked on here but don't see one.
