Origins and Various Types of Sate in Indonesia

 

Origin of Sate

The history of sate is still unclear, but it is estimated that sate has been in Indonesia since the 19th century. There are two main versions of the origin of sate.

The first version says that sate originated in India. In the 19th century, many Tamil and Gujarati Muslim traders from India came to Indonesia and brought their culture and cuisine. One of those cuisines was sate, which is made from meat that is skewered and grilled. Sate then spread throughout Indonesia and became a popular food.

The second version says that sate originated in Indonesia itself. In the past, Indonesian people often hunted for food. They would cut the meat of hunted animals into small pieces and skewer them with bamboo to make it easier to carry. Sate then became a popular food among Indonesian people.

Regardless of its origin, sate has become a very popular food in Indonesia. Sate can be found all over the country, from street stalls to fine dining restaurants. Sate has also become a signature Indonesian dish that is famous abroad.
