Murtabak, or Mutabbaq (Arabic: مُطَبَّق, romanized: muṭabbaq, lit. 'folded', standard pronunciation: [mu.tˤab.baq]), is a Yemeni stuffed pancake or pan-fried bread commonly found in the Arabian Peninsula, the Indian subcontinent, and Southeast Asia, notably in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, and Southern Thailand. Depending on the location, the name and ingredients can vary significantly. The name mutabbaq means "folded" in Arabic.[2][3]
Murtabak is often described as a spicy folded omelette or pancake with bits of vegetables.[4] Its most common form is made from pan-fried crepes, usually stuffed with beaten eggs, chopped leeks, chives, or green onion, and minced meat, which is then folded and cut into squares.[2][5]
In Malaysia, murtabak was originally sold in mamak stalls, and usually includes minced meat (beef or chicken, sometimes goat meat or mutton) along with garlic, egg, and onion, and is eaten with curry, sliced cucumber, syrup-pickled onions, or tomato sauce.
In Indonesia, the term martabak refers to two dishes: martabak manis, based on apam balik, and martabak telur, which resembles murtabak the closest and includes egg, meat, and scallions.[6] A thinner variant of martabak manis is martabak tipis kering.[7]
