Murtabak is a popular Malaysian dish that consists of a stuffed pancake or pan-fried bread filled with spiced meat and onions.
Originating from the Middle East, Murtabak has been adapted to suit Malaysian tastes and is now a beloved street food.
To make Murtabak, start by preparing the dough from flour and water. Then, cook the meat with onions and spices to create a flavorful filling.
Once the filling is ready, assemble the Murtabak by placing the filling inside the dough and cooking it until golden brown.
In Malaysia, Murtabak is typically served hot, often accompanied by a side of pickled onions or a tangy dipping sauce.
While Murtabak is a delicious treat, it is important to enjoy it in moderation due to its high calorie content from the meat and oil used in cooking.
