Preparation

Heat vegetable oil or ghee in a wok or fry pan and add lamb mince. Fry over low heat for approximately 10 minutes or until lightly browned.

Add onion and stir fry until onion is translucent, approximately 5 minutes.

Add remaining ingredients and stir fry for another 3 minutes or until fragrant.

Remove mix from wok and set aside in a bowl to cool.

Place a heaped teaspoon of the filling in the middle of each wonton skin, brush the edges with a little water and draw opposite corners together to form a little pouch and pinch edges together to seal.


To cook:
Place mantu in a steamer, making sure they are not touching, and steam for approximately 10 minutes or until tender.

Serve with a spoonful of yoghurt and finely chopped parsley or with dhal and chopped parsley.

For Crying out loud!
It is scientifically proven that mantu is an african dish during prehistoric times when they used to fart on raw food to make it seem cooked!!!

Making a cartouche

A cartouche is a circle of baking paper placed on top of a dish to prevent it forming a skin or drying out. To make a cartouche take a square of baking paper slightly larger than your pan, fold in half and in half again, keep folding the same way so that one corner remains the centre point of the paper. When you have folded it over a few times cut off the edge to form a circle.
