I was browsing through Cikmanggis archive last Friday to have some ideas what to cook for the family this weekend and found this simple recipe of mini murtabak. It is simple and almost instant to make it as I don't have to prepare the roti dough the day beforehand. This recipe uses spring rolls sheets that you can get from Coles or Asian groceries in the freezer section. It was fun and easy to made. A Malaysia version of beef pie or chicken pie which is a very popular snack and you can get them at pasar malam (night market).
All the vegetables except for the onion and garlic were not from our garden. No chooks in our garden so not sure which farm the eggs came from.
Ingredients (adapted from CikManggis):200 gm mince meat/chicken
1 Big onion (finely diced)
3 garlic cloves (finely diced)
2 Tablespoon curry powder (add just a bit of water into paste)
1/2 teaspoon white pepper powder
Coriander (coarsely chopped)
1 spring onion (coarsely chopped)
1 capsicum (diced)
corn kernels (1cup)
2 chicken eggs
spring rolls sheets
salt and sugar (to taste)
Heat oil. Saute diced onion and garlic. Then add curry powder. Stir until the heavenly aroma of curry powder is fill in the air around your kitchen. Add mince beef and mix well until cook. Add salt and sugar. Cook until dry, no more liquid. Add in corn, capsicum, spring onion, coriander and mix well. Let it cool down before breaking 2 eggs into it and mix. Put the fillings on top of the spring roll sheets and fold. Heat the pan and just brush a little cooking oil on the pan. Not too much oil as spring roll sheets absorb a lot of oil. Pan-fry till cook. Eat with curry or red onion vinegar.
The outer layer was very nice and crispy. Here is a peek of what the filling look inside the fold.
yum!!! I can not wait to make these.. and in the Statesm egg roll wrappers are available in most regular grocery stores!
ReplyDeleteYum they look good. I'm vegetarian and thinking I could try them maybe with lentils instead of meat?
ReplyDeleteWah pandai Diana masak! Sedap nampak nya tu..Cikmanggis memang banyak resipi yg sedap2 dan simple. I did try her cencalok prawns, though must wash the cencalok a bit or else too salty...very popular with my 3 sons!

ReplyDeleteMula-mula Wan Cm meninggal terasa sungguh sedih sekali tetapi sekarang ini rasa sungguh rindu pula......rindu yang tak dapat nak jelaskan dengan perkataan....rindu yang teramat sangat......
Your post made me extremely hungry. Seriously hungry! I am stopping my blog crawl to go get me some food to much on. LOL!
ReplyDeleteSedap nya....terasa lapar lah pula. Bulan puasa hampir setiap hari menjadi hidangan wajib. Thanks for sharing...and thanks also to Cik Manggis kerana sudi berkongsi resepi ini.
ReplyDeleteWah, sedapnya! This is delicious for any meal of the day, knowing us Malaysians, we could eat this for breakfast, lunch, tea-time snack, dinner and supper too!
ReplyDeleteThat murtabak looks to die for - I shall have to try to make it this weekend for brunch! Have just discovered your interesting blog :)

ReplyDeleteVeggiegobbler~I think you can change it to lentils. I would like to try lentils too next time.
p3chandan~Resepi simple2 yang menarik bila asyik tak cukup masa dan tangan nak memasak...hehehe...rasanya cencalok tengok brand kut ada yang masin sangat ada yang ok. Dekat sini tak de pilihan brand cencaluk sangat tapi yang kami beli tak beberapa masin.
UmmiRosma~I think you family will enjoy this.

Cat-from-Sydney~If I am in Malaysia, I will probably never cook my own murtabak. Beli je kat pasar malam...hehehe...

CathJ~Very crispy with the spring roll.
CikManggis~Harap CM cepat sembuh ya. Nanti nak dekat puasa ni kelam kabut nak siapkan kuih raya lah pulak. Mama saya pun selalu cakap walaupun arwah nenek dah lama pergi, dia selalu rindu kat nenek tak boleh nak cakap macam mana rindunya tu.CM jaga kesihatan ya nanti pakcik risau tengok CM. Batas pun pakcik dah sedia:).

Kelli~Nice hot dish straight out from the pan for this cold weather.
I must make this soon! It sounds delicious. Wonder if it would work with frozen rotis instead of spring roll wrappers?
ReplyDeleteI know this word has been used many times above and is not original, but .... yum
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious - all my favorite things - ground meat, curry, and a fried outside. what is the red onion vinegar? I think I'm going to try this!
