Roti Mataba

โรตีมะตะบะ

Medium-Mild

Mataba is a Thai-Muslim stuffed flatbread — a flaky roti folded around a filling of spiced minced meat and egg, pan-fried until golden and served with a sweet cucumber relish.

Key Ingredients

  • roti dough
  • minced beef or chicken
  • onion
  • egg
  • curry powder

Where to Try It

Thai-Muslim street stalls in Bangkok's Bang Rak, near mosques, and in southern Thailand.

Tips

  • The vegetarian version with egg and onion only is just as satisfying as the meat version — a great option for non-meat eaters exploring Muslim Thai food.
