About Murtakbak

Murtakbak is a traditional stuffed flatbread popular in Middle Eastern and Southeast Asian cuisines, particularly in Yemen and Malaysia. It consists of thin dough layered with a savory filling, commonly made from minced meat, eggs, chopped onions, scallions, and a blend of aromatic spices. The flatbread is folded into a square parcel and pan-fried, resulting in a crispy exterior and flavorful, tender interior. While Murtakbak is a satisfying dish high in protein from the meat and eggs, it can also be calorie-dense due to the frying process and carbohydrate-rich dough. Variations may include vegetarian fillings like spiced vegetables or cheese, catering to different dietary preferences. Consumed as a snack or part of a meal, Murtakbak is a beloved comfort food, though moderation is recommended for those monitoring fat and calorie intake.
