Knead an elastic dough with the flour, water, half of the vegetable oil, and the salt.
Divide the dough into 6 balls, coat them with the remaining vegetable oil, and rest for 1 hour.
For the filling, chop the yellow onions and fry the minced beef with the curry powder and black pepper for 8 minutes.
Let the beef filling cool until warm, then mix it with the eggs.
Stretch each dough ball thinly on an oiled counter, place the beef and egg filling in the center, and fold it like an envelope.
Cook the murtabak in an oiled pan for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until browned.
Chop the cucumbers and red onion, slice the murtabak, and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Coat the dough balls with oil and rest them for at least 1 hour; briefly rested dough pulls back while being stretched thin.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Slice the murtabak and serve hot with cucumber, red onion, and optional spicy yogurt sauce.
