Mantapour (Armenia)




Mantapour or mantabour is a traditional Armenian yogurt soup with a type of Armenian ravioli. Soup is typically made with strained yogurt, eggs, flour, minced garlic, water or broth, to which are added raw or pre-cooked meat-filled ravioli.

Cooked white rice or wheat berries are often added to the soup. Ravioli are small boat-shaped dough made of flour, water, and salt, and filled with a mixture of fried spiced lamb or beef, onions, and green onions or parsley.

Creamy and filled yogurt soup is flavored with dry mint and consumed hot. There is also another version of mantapour, which consists of meat-filled dough that is cooked in a clear broth and then eaten with a piece of matzoon or sour cream and some fresh parsley on top.

In the past, mantapour was called engagement abour or agantch abour.
