Mutabbaq or Martabak

Mutabbaq or Martabak is a Saudi traditional street food. Its a very simple & easy recipe . Its kind of Indian stuffed bread. My recipe has a twist. I used the store bought mutabbaq leaves and filling recipe is not traditional. You can use spring roll sheets too. Its best for breakfasts, lunch box , snack time as well as ifthar.

Preparation time : 10 minutes

Cooking time : 20 minutes

Ingredients :

Chicken – 500 gms, boneless , minced
Onion – 2 large. finely chopped
Carrots, beans – 1/2 cup, finely chopped ( optional)
Ginger garlic paste – 1 teaspoon
Turmeric powder – 1/4 th teaspoon
Garam masala powder – 1/2 teaspoon
Pepper powder- 1 teaspoon
Coriander leaves – few, finely chopped
Eggs – 3
Salt – to taste
Mutabbaq leaves/ spring roll leaves – 8
Butter – 4 tablespoon
All purpose flour – 2 tablespoon ( to make glue)

Method :

Heat a pan, add 1 tablespoon of oil, add finely chopped onion and saute till soft.
Add ginger garlic paste. Saute till raw smell goes. then add veggies (optional), minced chicken, salt, pepper, garam masala powder, turmeric and saute well.
Close the lid and cook chicken till done. Do not add water, as chicken leaves its moisture. Switch off the flame.
Let the masala cool down and keep aside. ( Make sure its completely cooled down)

Note : If you already have any samosa masala filling , then can use it instead of preparing the above filling.

In a bowl, whisk eggs, add little salt, pepper, coriander leaves, cooled chicken masala and mix well.

In a small bowl, add little water to all purpose flour and mix well to form a thick lump free paste just like how you do for samosa.
Take a mutabbaq/ or spring roll sheet. place the egg n chicken mix on the sheet in square shape.
Apply the all purpose flour paste on the all the sides . place another sheet on them and press it on the sides.
