Martabak, or
Murtabak, is an
Indian Muslim (
Mamak) dish commonly found in
Malaysia,
Indonesia,
Singapore,
Brunei and
Yemen where it is called Motabbag (Arabic: المطبّق) which means "The Folded" so the name could be of Arabic origin. It is made from a thin dough filled with minced meat, usually
mutton, and fried on a
griddle until it turns golden brown. The fillings also include
garlic,
egg and
onion. Martabak is served with slices of
cucumber and
onion, and a bowl of
curry sauce. In Indonesia, Martabak also tends to be served with some kind of dark brown sauce made of vinegar and
palm sugar.
