Mantapur
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Mantapur looks like mantu, but due to the way it's boiled, it's considered more similar to dumplings. So you won't be mistaken if you call it by either of these names. Preparing Mantapur is no more complicated than making regular dumplings or mantu. Even a beginner cook can handle it. Follow the recipe, and the result will delight you. Serve hot.
