VEG MARTABAK / MURTABAK / MUTABBAQ

Martabak / Murtabak or Mutabbaq is a popular street food from Saudi Arabia, Yemen and many Middle East countries and are also popular in Singapore and Thailand.

It is like a pancake filled with a mince meat filling and eggs, folded, rolled in egg and shallow fried. Here I have made a vegetables filling instead of meat and used eggs too.
