Murtabak Recipe with Chicken<\/h1>\n

Murtabak is a pan fried folded flat bread that can be plain or stuffed with Mutton, Chicken or Egg. It is \u00a0said to have originated in Yemen, influenced\u00a0by the large Indian Expatriate Community there. It is very common is Saudi Arabia too.<\/p>\n

It is said to have been originally named\u00a0“Muttabar” by the Chefs from Kerala, India – ‘Mutta’ meaning\u00a0“Egg” and ‘bar’ short for “Barotta”which is a derivative of the Hindi word ‘Paratta’ (Flatbread). The name is thought to have mutated to “Muttabag” which means “Folded” in Arabic. Eventually the common name in Arab Countries became “Muttabak”, and in Asian Countries like Malaysia and Singapore, it is called “Murtabak”. In these countries it is mainly made by Indian Muslim Hawkers.<\/p>\n
