About this recipe
Did you know that pumpkin dumplings are just slightly less popular than meat dumplings? It's true! And it's not surprising at all: pumpkin filling is very juicy and flavorful. These dumplings are not difficult to prepare at all (you'll find a detailed recipe below), and they are cooked in the same way as the classic meat ones – steamed. By the way, you can easily use a multicooker for this: it will be faster. Pay special attention to the last step of the process: the ready pumpkin dumplings should be slightly dried so that they stick less to the plates. And don't forget to put a piece of butter in the middle of each one: it will melt and give the filling an extra tender taste.

Preparation steps
Step 1
Prepare the dough for manti. Sift the flour into a wide bowl and make a well on top. Lightly beat the egg with salt and cold water. Pour into the well.
Step 2
Start kneading the dough with a fork, adding flour from the edges to the center. When all the liquid has combined with the flour, continue the process until it becomes firm and elastic. Roll the dough into a ball, wrap in film and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Step 3
Prepare the manti filling. Cut the pumpkin pulp into small cubes. Peel the onion and garlic and chop. Heat ghee in a large frying pan. Brown the onion and garlic (3 minutes over medium heat).
Step 4
Add pumpkin to the onions and garlic. Increase heat and continue cooking for another 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently. The pumpkin should become soft but retain its shape. Add cumin, coriander and chilli flakes. Add salt and pepper to taste and stir. Let the filling cool.
Step 5
Place the dough on a work surface dusted with flour. Roll it into a thick sausage and divide into 16 equal parts. Roll each into a thin cake about 1.5–2 mm thick (the edges are slightly thinner than the middle).
Step 6
Place a teaspoon of pumpkin filling in the center of each. Bring the edges of the tortilla up and carefully pinch them together, tucking them into the folds and leaving a hole in the center.
Step 7
Prepare a steamer or a special device for boiling manti. Grease the baskets with vegetable oil. Place the manti at a short distance from each other. Set the baskets on a base of boiling water. Cover with a lid and cook for 40 minutes.
Step 8
Turn off the heat and leave the manti in the basket for 3-5 minutes to dry the dough a little. Lightly grease the plates with melted butter. Place the manti on them. Place a piece of butter in the hole of each. Serve immediately.
