Indian Savoury Pancake ( Martabak )

This specialty really comes from India. Since there are lots of Indian communities in Indonesia, this meal currently has become a preferred snack. it is a night-time favourite, isn't the type of dish that will be ready at home, however could be a bought as a light-weight meal from food stalls that you just will realize it simply along the streets in Indonesia. Yet, as a result of nobody is selling Martabak here, I actually have to form it unaided. it is a terribly tasty snack.
