martabak

[Malaysian_and_Indonesian]

These pancakes seem to have been introduced to Indonesia and Malaysia by Indian Muslims, though I don't find references to it in India itself. They may be made of layers of fine dough filled with minced (US: ground) lamb, spices and vegetables or mushrooms and fried. There is also a thicker, sweetened version which looks more like a folded thin sponge cake.
