Murtabak, or mutabbaq (, ), is a Yemeni stuffed pancake or pan-fried bread commonly found in the Arabian Peninsula, parts of the Indian subcontinent, and Southeast Asia (especially Maritime Southeast Asia), notably in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, parts of South India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, and Southern Thailand. Depending on the location, the name and ingredients can vary significantly. The name mutabbaq means "folded" in Arabic.
Murtabak is often described as a spicy folded omelette or pancake with bits of vegetables. Its most common form is made from pan-fried crepes, usually stuffed with beaten eggs, chopped leeks, chives, or green onion, and minced meat, which is then folded and cut into squares.
