uyghur Butternut squash steamed dumpling

Kawa mantisi is a very traditional Uyghur cuisine. There are a few different cooking ways for manta. The one with butternut squash is often prepared using the dough without yeast fermentation.  This recipe is from my mum.

Serving:8
Cooking time 1 hr 20 min

Ingredients
Filling
1 medium size butternut squash, diced into small pieces
1 pound of lamb, minced
salt to taste
black pepper to taste
1/2 table spoon of sugar

Dough 
3 cups of all purpose flour
1 cup of water
1 table spoon of salt

Steps
1. Mix the dough by hand or kitchen aid until the dough is uniform and smooth. Cover and let sit for at least 30 min
2. Mix fillings.
3. Pinch out small portion of dough each time and make it a round meat ball shape, about the size of the meatball. Make as many dough balls as possible.
3. Press each dough ball into flat round shape by hand
4. Use roller, roll the flat shape dough into even thinner flat dough.
5. Put about 1 table spoon of fillings on each flat dough.
6. Make it the shape of manto
7. Place all the mantos in the steamer trays. Make sure there is some space between each manto, so they do not stick to each other.
8. I have the electric steamer, all I have to do is to add enough water as instructed at the bottom of the steamer, place the streamer trays in place and steam for 30-35 min. If you have other steamer, please follow its own instructions.
9.Serve them warm
