Cooking Instructions:
Step 1: In a bowl, combine the ground meat, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and spices. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 2: On a clean surface, sprinkle some flour and roll out the dough thinly. Cut the dough into small squares.
Step 3: Place a small spoonful of the meat mixture in the center of each dough square. Fold the edges of the square over the filling to form a small dumpling.
Step 4: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully place the dumplings into the boiling water and cook until they float to the surface, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 5: While the dumplings are cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan. In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt and minced garlic.
Step 6: Remove the cooked dumplings from the water using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a serving dish. Pour the melted butter over the dumplings and top with the yogurt sauce.
