Murtabak

Murtabak is like a yummy pancake that is popular in many countries, especially in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore. It is usually made with flour, eggs, water, and some spices, but it can also be filled with various ingredients such as minced meat, onions, cheese, or veggies.

To make murtabak, the cook mixes the dough ingredients together and lets the dough rest for a while. Then, the cook rolls out the dough into a thin layer and spreads the filling on top. The edges of the dough are then folded over the filling to make a neat square-ish shape.

After the murtabak is shaped, it is fried in a pan until it is golden brown and crispy on the outside. When it's done, the murtabak is cut into small pieces and served hot with a spicy sauce or a cooling yogurt dip.

Murtabak is a yummy and satisfying snack that is perfect for sharing with friends or for a quick bite on the go!
