Step 1
Mix flour with 0.5 cup water and a pinch of salt until a shaggy dough forms, then knead 2 minutes until smooth.
Step 2
Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it apart with a spoon, until no pink remains, ~4 minutes.
Step 3
Add diced onion and garam masala to the beef; stir until onion softens, ~2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cool slightly.
Step 4
Divide dough into 2 balls. Roll each into a 6-inch round; spread half the filling on one half, crack an egg on top, fold in half.
Step 5
Heat 1.5 tbsp oil in the skillet over medium-high until it shimmers. Fry one murtabak 3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Step 6
Repeat with remaining oil and murtabak. Serve hot with sambal or sweet chili sauce.
