Muthabug

Cultural Context

Muthabug, also known as Muthabbak, is a popular street food in Saudi Arabia, particularly enjoyed during Ramadan. This savory stuffed pancake is made with a thin dough filled with spiced ground meat and vegetables, reflecting the rich culinary traditions of the region. Often served with yogurt or a spicy sauce, Muthabug has gained popularity beyond its borders, with variations found in other Middle Eastern countries.
