Before you jump to Manti (Turkish Dumplings) recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about Choosing Healthy and balanced Fast Food.

Almost each and every “get healthy” and “weight loss” document you go through will tell you to skip the drive through and make all of your meals yourself. There’s some benefit to that. Occasionally, though, the last thing you need is to have to cook meals from scratch. Sometimes you just would like to hit the drive through along the way home and call it a day. Why shouldn’t you be able to do this every so often and not have a bunch of guilt about slipping up on your diet? This is because many of the well-known fast food restaurants around are trying to “healthy up” their choices. Here is the way to eat healthfully when you hit the drive through.

Choose the drive through based on if it has more healthy options available. Arby’s by way of example, isn’t going to offer burgers. You can eat roast beef sandwiches, wraps and salads as an alternative. While Wendy’s has offered hamburgers for decades, they also have quite a few other healthy options like salads, baked potatoes and chili. Not many fast food locations are as unhealthy as McDonalds with its deep fried every little thing.

Traditional logic tells us that one certain way to get healthy and lose weight is to drop the drive through and to banish fast food restaurants from your thoughts. While, usually, this is a good strategy, if you make smart choices, there is no reason to feel guilty for visiting a drive through one or two times a month. Every now and then, letting someone else cook dinner is just what you need. If you decide on healthy things, the guilt usually associated with hitting the drive through shouldn’t be so bad.

  16. Prepare 1/2 tsp sumac
  17. You need 1/2 stick butter
Steps to make Manti (Turkish Dumplings):
  1. Mix ingredients to prepare the dough, if you need more water add very little one of the time, make dough firm. Manti dough needs to be quite hard; cover the dough with a cling film or kitchen towel and leave to rest in a cold place or in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  2. While the dough is resting, make the filling. Grate or finely chop the onion and combine with the ground meat and parsley. Season with salt and ground black pepper and mix well.
  3. Cut the dough into 4 balls. I can't stretch the dough very good, so I work with 4 balls, (my mom works with two balls), working one piece of dough at a time
  4. As you see I stretch my dough with rolling pin back and forth, to large enough cut into a 1 1/2 or 2 cm wide squares(keep the other balls covered to keep them smooth)
  5. Take your filling , place a small amount of on each square
  6. Squeeze one side of the dumpling
  7. Then the other side, to prevent the filling leaks when you cook them
  8. Pinch to close tightly
  9. Make sure no openings, Pinch the opposite corners to form a little a little pouch and press the seams together to seal firmly.
  10. Like a star
  11. Or you can close by cross edges first, then..
  12. The other
  13. Which ever is easy for you
  14. Just make sure you close the dumplings tightly. Place finished dumplings into a floured tray. Shake the tray frequently to separate the dumplings from each other. They may stick .
  15. If your squares stretch, and too long to work,
  16. Simply cut the dough and make smaller
  17. Boil water in a large pot, add 1 tablespoon of oil, and salt. Then add your dumplings . Cook until dough is cooked but still somehow firm. About 15-20 minutes. Do not wait too long. Dough will be too soft.
  18. Sauce: chop fresh garlic, mash them add onto plain thick yogurt set aside. In a small pan melt butter, and 1 tbs oil, add red pepper flakes and paste, by stirring, add 1/2 or 1 tbs of manti boiling water until sauce gets thicker.
  19. Place manti to a serving plate , add yogurt/ garlic and poor some paste sauce over.
  20. I put finished uncooked dumplings in a tray, (didn't want them sticking to each other) kept in the freezer until they are frozen . Then transferred them into a freezer bag. Ready to cook whenever I want in the future(if you can't finish the dough, cover with stretch film, and keep in the freezer, you will work another time)
