Satė.

Indonesian Satė is listed as Number 14 of the World’s 50 Best Foods according to the CNN Travel’s readers’ poll of July 2017.

Professor Murdijati Gardjito of Gadja Madha University, Yogyakarta, has recently discovered that Indonesia has 252 varieties, which stretch over the whole archipelago, except in Lampung, a province in South Sumatra, and Mandar, a group of 17 kingdoms in West Sulawesi. The origins of 175 are known.

Yogyakarta has the most varieties at 21, then Semarang, also in Java, with 12, followed by Pekalongan  in North Java and Bali, both with 11 varieties.

Satė Lilit.

Usually it involves grilled meat, but some places use mushrooms, squid and tofu. In some parts they fry the ingredients and in Aceh they are boiled.

We serve two kinds in Murni’s Warung. The first is the classic version: skewers of grilled chicken, beef, fish or pork served over glowing charcoal with our home made peanut sauce and the other is Satė Lilit, Balinese-style, chicken or fish.
