Okay since I had a long weekends thanks to the Chinese New Year celebrations, I had a lot of free time at hand. So I spent part of it making another batch of the roll pineapple tarts, curry puffs and murtabak crackers. For those who do not know what is “murtabak” … well it is an Indian dish famous in Singapore and Malaysia … .suitable to be eaten during tea time or supper. But this murtabak crackers that I made is not made from the dough that the shop usual use but instead the base is used using cream crackers …. thus the name murtabak crackers 
I got the resipi from the TV show “Sedappp…. by Asmah Laili”. Its simple to make and most importantly ….. its delicious!
Okay here’s the resipi for ‘Murtabak Crackers’.
before cutting into slices
the murtabak crackers
Ingredients :
500 g of cream crackers
1 basin of water – to soak the cream crackers
8 eggs (if not enough, add more) – beaten with a dash of salt and pepper)
2 onions – diced finely
3 red chillies – seedless and diced.
1 stalk of spring onions (daun bawang) - chopped finely
1 stalk of Chinese celery (daun sop) – chopped finely
500 g of minced meat – fry without using any oil, add 1 tbsp of meat curry powder, salt to taste and pepper
1 cake tin – greased lighly with butter
Method :
Ready the minced meat first and the rest of the ingredients. Next, soak a few pieces of the cream crackers into the water (note : do not leave them too long, just long enough for the water to soak the crackers). Lift a cracker and press lightly on it to squeeze the water out. Place the cracker onto the base of the cake tin. Arrange them nicely till it covers the whole base of the cake tin.
Once the base has been covered with the crackers, sprinkle some of the minced meat, then the onions, chillies and spring onions/chinese celery. Pour some eggs over them. After that continue the whole process of placing the cream crackers , minced meat, chillies etc. again till it reach the top of the cake tin. The last layer must be the cream crackers covered with eggs on top.
Once ready, bake it in the oven with 160 degree celcius for about 50 – 60 mins till cook. Cool it first before cutting into pieces for serving.
