In Indonesia, there are generally two types of martabak: 1) Sweet Martabak and 2) Savory Martabak (one with egg and meat).

This one here is a sweet martabak. During assembly, it looks a bit like a Chicago style deep dish pizza. Common fillings used in this Indonesian sweet treat are crushed peanuts, chocolate rice (or chocolate sprinkles), grated cheese, and condensed milk.

Murtabak or martabak, also mutabbaq (Arabic: مطبق‎‎) (Thai: มะตะบะ), is a stuffed pancake or pan-fried bread which is commonly found in Saudi Arabia (especially the Tihamah and the Hejaz regions), Yemen, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and Thailand. Depending on the location, the name and ingredients can significantly vary. The name mutabbaq (or sometimes mutabbag) in Arabic means "folded". In Indonesia, the Murtabak is one of the most popular street foods and is known as "martabak".
