Welcome to the channel and introduction to the dish.

Use 250 g gluten-free flour, add 1/2 tsp salt, 1 egg, and 100 ml water.

Add an additional 20 ml water if the dough seems too dry.

Knead the dough for 7-8 minutes and cover it to prevent drying out.

Grate an onion into a bowl and add 200 g minced beef.

Mix in 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp cumin powder, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, and a pinch of black pepper.

Set the filling aside and roll out the dough, cutting it into squares about 4 cm per side.

Place a small amount of filling on each square and fold the edges to seal into the classic Turkish manti shape.

Wet the corners with a little water to help them stick together if needed.

Prepare a pot with salted water on the hob and bring it to a boil.

In a bowl, mix 250 g yogurt with a minced garlic clove, a pinch of salt, and half a ladle of boiling water to thin the sauce.

Check the manti after about 4 minutes of boiling to ensure they are cooked through.

Melt 2 tbsp of butter in a pan until bubbling, then turn off the heat and mix in 1 tsp chili powder as a substitute for Aleppo chili.

Pour the yogurt sauce over the manti, then drizzle with melted butter, and garnish with dry mint and sumac.
