The term “martabak” refers to a stuffed, panfried pancake commonly found Southeast Asia and “telur” means egg in the Indonesian language.

Martabak telur is 100% savory. However, the difference between martabak manis and martabak telur isn’t just about the fillings. Yes, martabak telur is filled with an egg and meat mixture (usually beef or mutton), but it is also wrapped in an extra thin dough that is then fried to perfect crispiness. To eat, martabak telur is traditionally dunked in saus cuka (vinegar sauce). In Indonesia, martabak one of the country’s most popular street foods.
