Murtabak

• 总时间: 1 hour 21 minutes

配料

A popular street food enjoyed across Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Saudi Arabia and Yemen, typically served for both breakfast and dinner - this dish is perfect for Ramadan, either for Suhoor or Iftar! It’s a delicious savoury flatbread, stuffed with a mince filling, eggs and cheese. You have to try it if you haven’t already! This recipe isn’t traditional but it’s how I like to make it at home.

Recipe for the Dough: (makes 8)

3 cups plain flour

4 tbsp oil or ghee

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup hot water

Recipe for the Filling:

2 tbsp oil

1 small onion

400g chicken mince

1 tsp garlic ginger paste

1 tbsp tomato purée

1 tsp red chilli powder (optional)

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp ground coriander

1/2 tsp garam masala

1 tsp salt or to taste

2-3 eggs

2 spring onions

2 tbsp chopped coriander

Shredded Mozarella

步骤

For the dough, combine flour, salt, oil, and hot water. Knead for 5 minutes until a soft dough forms, then rest for at least 1 hour. Add in more/less flour or water as required.

For the filling, sauté onions in oil until soft. Add spices, garlic ginger paste, and tomato purée, cooking for 2 minutes.

Add chicken mince and cook for 10-12 minutes until fully cooked. Beef or lamb mince will require more time.

Let the filling completely cool, then mix in eggs, chopped coriander and spring onions.

Divide the dough into 8 portions. Roll each into a ball, then roll out thinly on an oiled surface using either an oiled rolling pin or your hands, until slightly translucent.

Add 2 tbsp of filling in the centre, top with 1 tbsp of mozzarella cheese.

Fold the dough’s edges over the filling like a parcel, pressing gently to flatten.

Heat a pan with a little oil over medium-low heat. Cook the murtabak for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown, including the edges. Serve hot! #ramadanrecipes #murtabak #paratha #keema #flatbread #easyrecipe #ramadan2025
