Mantu earns the center of the table. A wide shallow bowl, an unhurried drizzle, a scattering of mint, and good people pulled close.
Empty the tray onto a wide shallow platter. Spoon every drop of yogurt and tomato over the center. Set in the middle of the table and let everyone pull from it.
Plate four dumplings on each shallow bowl, dressed individually. Dim the kitchen, light a single candle, eat slower than you usually do.
Heat half the tray, save the rest. Eat from a small wooden bowl, spoon by spoon, with an actual book in your other hand.
Mantu doesn't ask to be the centerpiece, it just becomes one. The first time the lid comes off, the steam rises, and the smell of garlic, mint, and slow-cooked tomato fills the room, somebody at the table almost always says, "oh, wow."
That's the moment we made this for.
