Beef Murtabak

I rate this a 1 on a scale of 5 for difficulty. It was so easy to do. I didn't have to make the wrapping for it. A ready made roti canai or paratha is ok to use.

Recipe: Beef Murtabak
adapted: MamaFami

Things you need:

• 1 cup of ground beef
• 2 minced shallots
• 2 cloves of minced garlic
• 1/2 tsp of kurma powder
• 1/2 tsp of sup powder
• 1/2 tsp of coriander powder
• 1 tsp of chili powder
• 1/2 of black pepper
• 1/2 of white pepper
• 1 chopped spring onion
• 1 egg
• ready made roti canai or paratha (leave at room temp.)
• salt & sugar to taste

Step 1:
Heat the oil in the pan. Once hot, add in the minced shollots, garlic and cook until fragrant. Then add in the ground beef. While the beef is cooking, add in all the powdered ingredients and all the peppers. Adding in the egg next and chopped spring onion last. Add salt & sugar to taste. Cook until done. Set aside and let cool.

Step 2:
Take out a roti canai or paratha and sprinkle the surface where you will roll out the roti canai with flour. Made sure you sprinkle a little flour on the rolling pin as well before you start rolling out the roti canai. Roll it out just enough to add some beef fillings but do not thin out the roti canai dough. Put some beef fillings in the middle of the roti canai and fold it like you would fold an envelope. With plain water, seal the end.

Step 3:
Last step before you enjoy your deliciously homemade beef murtabak. Preheat your griller on low to medium heat. Don't have a griller, a flat pan will do too. Cook your beef murtabak until golden brown. Enjoy while hot with a good chicken curry on the side.
