Wanna Mantı?

Eggplant Mantı (pronounced 'Man-teh' / rhymes with Fanta) and a little life update.

I have a profound love for traditional Turkish mantı. These delectable dumplings, bursting with seasoned meat, crowned with creamy garlic-infused yogurt and drizzled with shimmering red pepper butter sauce, are irresistible to all tastes. Yet, my enthusiasm wanes a few hours later when the heaviness settles in my stomach like an immovable brick.
