• MANDU - Hadra - Manti are a cherished traditional dish throughout Central Asia, including Uzbekistan. These are large dumplings usually filled with minced lamb or beef, onions, and occasionally pumpkin or potato.

The dough is rolled thin and shaped around the filling, often leaving a small opening at the top.
