作法
- 製作麵團：麵粉、鹽、雞蛋與溫水混合，揉 10 分鐘成光滑扎實麵團。靜置 60 分鐘。
- 製作內餡：羊絞肉、南瓜細丁、洋蔥、蒜末、孜然、胡椒、鹽與羊脂丁混合，朝同一方向攪打。
- 麵團搓成長條後分為 24 段。每段擀成 12 公分薄方形（或大圓形）。
- 每張麵皮中央放 2 大匙內餡。四角往中央拉攏捏緊，再將對邊兩兩會合捏緊—烏茲別克曼蒂體型大，造型也較複雜。
- 蒸盤輕輕抹油，曼蒂保留間距排列其上。
- 於滾水大火蒸 25 至 30 分鐘—麵皮應軟嫩、餡料熟透。盛盤，豪邁淋上酸奶油，撒上蒔蘿與喀什米爾辣椒粉。用手享用。

文化背景
烏茲別克曼蒂是中亞大型蒸餃—與阿富汗 Mantu（較小、淋優格扁豆醬）、韓式 Mandu（較小、配醬油沾醬）有所區別。內餡加南瓜是烏茲別克特色；純肉餡的曼蒂也常見，但羊肉南瓜的組合是地區招牌。這道菜屬節慶料理，烏茲別克家庭會為客人做曼蒂作為待客之道。哈薩克、吉爾吉斯與其他突厥語系飲食也有曼蒂，各地略有差異。
