An analogue of manti, known as ravioli in Italy and gyoza in Far Eastern cuisine, is dumplings in Russian cuisine. Dumplings, which are divided into sweet and savory, are prepared with fruit sauce and sugar when served as dessert. The salty version is served pure, with minced meat or cheese.

Any tips for dumpling recipes? The dough you knead should be neither too hard nor too soft. It should resemble manti dough, but you should end up with a very elastic dough.

When adding flour, you should add it gradually and control the consistency of the dough. The table on which you will roll out the dough must have a stable and hard surface.

You can roll out the dough by sprinkling it with flour to make it easier to roll out. If you cut the dough with the neck of a tea glass, the dimensions will be perfect.

If you don't want to serve the dumplings with sour cream, serve them with garlic yoghurt and red pepper oil, like Turkish manti, and they will turn out very tasty.

You should ensure that the water in which you cook the manti boils. Otherwise, your manti will fall apart.

When rolling out the dough, make sure that it is of medium thickness.

If you add a little broth to the boiling water, you can further enhance the flavor.
