Manti is very similar to dumplings, but if in dumplings the ratio of the filling to the dough is about one to one (or even one to two), then in manti, on the contrary, the fillings are much larger because the dough is very thin and the products are large.
Another difference is the composition of the filling. In addition to minced meat, they add a lot of onions or other vegetables (potatoes, pumpkin) to make the filling soft and juicy, and in the original recipes put the fat tail (can be replaced with butter).
And the last feature - manti steamed, although in the absence of mantyshnitsy or steamers you can cook them in a small amount of water or in a water bath.
