Nice recipe, I think that is it almost the same food for Indians. Procedure and recipe is almost the same too! In Indians they called it Siapati or Paruta.
Here's some of the pictures of your recipe.

You're right.. this recipe was brought to Malaysia by the Indians long long time ago and now it becomes the most popular appetizer in Malaysia, especially among the Indians in Malaysia. Now we don't call it Indian food but Malaysian Food.. Thank you for your info and sharing

I've tasted it also. Have you tasted mutton (lamb) curry? It is also delicious.

[andycgl]

Yes, I did try lamb curry before...but because i don't really like lamb so i seldom use lamb in my recipes..

[HeadChef]

For me, I just hate the after taste of the lamb. It is kinda oily.
