Wikipedia
Murtabak or Mutabbaq () is a dish which is commonly found in Saudi Arabia (especially the Hejaz region), Yemen, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, and Brunei. Depending on the location, the name and ingredients can significantly vary. The name mutabbaq (or sometimes mutabbag) in Arabic means "folded". In Malaysia, where it is called "Murtabak", it is sold by Mamak salesmen, and usually includes minced mutton, along with garlic, egg and onion, and is eaten with curry sauce. Murtabak also usually includes mutton in Yemen. In Indonesia, particularly Jakarta, it is called "martabak", and has two versions: a sweet one, and a savory one.

[edit] Preparation
Step 1 |
Martabak is convenient (this is not the martabak/murtabak of Singapore and Malaysia) |
Step 2 |
Fry beef, garlic, onion, salt, pepper, carrots a few minutes until cooked dry. Cool Beat 1 egg, add 5 heaping tablespoons and 1 tablespoon scallions. |
Step 3 |
Put 2 tablespoons of this mixture in a skin. Fold like an envelope and fry in a little oil in a kwali/wok/cast iron pan. Drain. Keep going until all the stuffing is used up. These freeze well. Great with kechap manis (sweet soy sauce). BTW, this is Sumatran style. The Javanese is a little different. |
