About

In Indonesia, there are two types of martabak. Martabak manis is a sweet yeasted pancake filled with any one or more of the following: chocolate, peanuts, sweet cheese, and condensed milk. Martabak telur, a savory parcel thought to be Middle Eastern in origin, is chock-full of ground beef and egg. Julia’s shortcut version uses store-bought spring roll wrappers, and she’s happy to use any meat she has on hand.
