Satay
Satay is a popular Indonesian dish consisting of skewered and grilled meat, typically chicken, beef, or lamb. The meat is marinated in a mixture of spices, such as turmeric, coriander, and lemongrass, before being grilled over charcoal. Satay is often served with a rich peanut sauce, along with accompaniments like rice cakes (ketupat), cucumber slices, and onions. It is known for its savoury and slightly sweet flavour.
