Satay

                                                                                                                                                                                                     

Satay-the Malay authentic dish is loved by all.  It is dipped into a peanut gravy sauce and eaten with ketupat.
         

This is our Malaysian satay.  It is either beef or chicken slices skewed on coconut leaf sticks and barbecued over moderate charcoal grill.
 Satay is dipped into a gravy of peanut sauce cooked with dried chilies, lemon grass, garlic, shallots, galangal, fennel seeds, cumin seeds, blended peanuts and a bit of belacan (shrimp paste).
The meat is marinated with lemongrass, garlic, ginger, shallots, galangal, salt and sugar.  Satay is a Malay cuisine.  It is loved by all races in Malaysia.  It is a favorite takeaway for birthdays, Christmas potluck and Hari Rayas (the Malay new year).
