Sate Lilit is the star of Balinese cuisine and dominates the culinary scene on the island of the gods! Whether you’re snacking in a charming warung or indulging in a fancy restaurant, these little grilled skewers make you happy and are guaranteed to put you in a good mood. Sate Lilit offers unforgettable moments of flavour!

The basis of every sate is the traditional paste, bumbu base genap – a veritable firework of spices. The basic ingredients of this spice mixture are shallots, garlic, ginger, turmeric, lemongrass, grated coconut and shrimp paste – the quantities vary depending on the recipe and, of course, every restaurant has its own personal secret recipe for a tasty base genap. The aromatic spices and herbs blend together to form a harmonious paste that can even be kept in the fridge for a few days – perfect if you want to create a very special highlight at your next barbecue party.

The paste is thoroughly blended with the meat – whether you prefer fish, chicken, or pork is entirely up to your taste – just before preparing the skewers. Next, place everything on the barbecue or in the pan, and in just a few minutes, a delightful snack will be ready. If that doesn’t bring you joy, what will?
