Murtabak is made by stretching a thin dough and filling it with a mixture of ingredients, which typically includes spiced minced meat (commonly beef, mutton, or chicken), eggs, onions, and sometimes vegetables. Once filled, the dough is folded into a neat package and cooked on a hot griddle until it becomes golden and crispy on the outside. The filling inside remains tender and flavorful.
In some places, especially in Indonesia, there are sweet versions of murtabak, known as martabak manis or terang bulan. These are stuffed with sweet fillings such as condensed milk, chocolate, peanuts, or cheese, making them more like a dessert than a savory meal.
Malaysian Murtabak is often served with a side of curry gravy or dhal and pickled onions to complement the savory flavors.
