Mont lin maya (Template:Lang-my; pronounced [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) in Mawlamyine.

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.
