To prepare Bison Gida Manti, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the frozen dumplings, ensuring they do not stick together. Stir gently to prevent them from settling at the bottom. Cook until the dumplings float to the surface and the dough is tender, which usually takes about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain them well. They are commonly served with a dollop of plain yogurt, often mixed with garlic, and a drizzle of melted butter infused with paprika or mint.
