📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Orama is made by spreading filling over manti dough, rolling it up, and steaming it. It skips the work of wrapping dumplings one by one, making it handy for large families. Ground beef or lamb with onion is joined by pumpkin in season, and once steamed it's sliced and eaten with sour cream or yogurt.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a cold afternoon, steam rises from a big steamer in the kitchen as orama is sliced to reveal its spiral cross-section.
