Mont lin maya (Burmese: မုန့်လင်မယား; in Burmese pronounced as /mo̰ʊɴ lɪ̀ɴməjá/; also spelt mont lin mayar) is a traditional Burmese street snack or mont. The Burmese name literally means "husband and wife snack",[1] and is also known as mont ok galay (မုန့်အုပ်ကလေး,) or mont maung hnan (မုန့်မောင်နှံ,)[2] in Mawlamyine and Upper Myanmar.
The dish consists of crisp, round savory pancakes made with a batter consisting of rice flour, quail eggs, chickpeas, and spring onions, fried in a special metal pan.
Similar desserts in the region include Vietnamese bánh khọt, Indonesian serabi, Thai khanom krok, Indian paddu, and Japanese takoyaki.
