Step 1: Prepare the dough

• Mix the flour, salt, and turmeric in a bowl.

• Gradually add water and knead the dough until it is soft and has a uniform color.

• Let it rest for an hour at room temperature, covered with plastic wrap.

Step 2: Make the filling

• Brown the ground beef.

• Add the onion and green chili pepper and let it cool.

Step 3: Make the dough roses

• Sprinkle a clean work surface with flour and divide the dough into three pieces.

• Roll out each piece into a long strip and flatten it with a rolling pin (1/2 centimeter). Cut in half. You now have six strips.

• Divide the beef mixture with a spoon over the center of each strip. Fold and roll up the strip, forming a rose.

• Bring water to a boil in a steamer pot and grease it. Sprinkle the roses with oil and place them in the steamer basket. Steam for about 30 minutes with the lid on the pot.

Step 4: Prepare the sauce and topping

• Fry the onions until golden brown in oil.

• Add chili flakes, salt, paprika powder, tomato paste, and garlic and stir well for two minutes.

• Add the tomatoes and cook for a minute.

• Add the water and split peas and mix well. Let it simmer for twenty minutes on low heat; the sauce is ready when the oil appears on the surface.

• Mix yogurt, salt, and garlic in a small bowl.

Step 5: Serve the Mantu

• Spread the yogurt topping over a large plate and place the roses on it. Divide the tomato sauce between the roses.

• Garnish with mint and cilantro leaves and serve.
