Mutabbaq (Stuffed Savory Pancakes)

Mutabbaq is a delicious stuffed flatbread, crispy on the outside and filled with flavorful fillings. This version uses homemade thin sheets made from chapathi dough, but spring roll sheets work great too!

To Make the Sheets

Ingredients:

  • Chapathi dough (prepared in advance)

  • Cornstarch

  • Oil

Method:

  1. Take 3 small dough balls and flatten them into discs.

  2. Brush each disc generously with a mix of cornstarch and oil.

  3. Stack the discs, press gently, and roll and cook in a pan slightly till it starts to dry or press them out using a roti maker.

  4. Peel apart the layers gently to get 3 thin sheets.

  5. Repeat to make a total of 12 sheets.

Alternatively, you can use ready-made spring roll sheets or roll the dough very thin.

To Assemble and Cook

  1. Prepare a paste of flour and water to seal edges.

  2. Take a prepared sheet, place your desired filling in the center.

  3. Apply the flour paste on the edges.

  4. Fold all sides to form a rectangle or square packet.

  5. Heat a pan and grease it lightly with butter or oil.

  6. Place the mutabbaq on the pan, fold side down.
