Balinese Chicken Satay Lilit Skewers

Cultural Context

Originating from Bali, Satay Lilit is a traditional dish that showcases the island's rich culinary heritage. Unlike typical satay, which uses chunks of meat, Satay Lilit features minced meat mixed with aromatic spices and wrapped around bamboo skewers. This dish is often enjoyed during festive occasions and gatherings, highlighting the communal aspect of Balinese dining. Today, it has gained popularity beyond Indonesia, with variations appearing in various Southeast Asian cuisines.
