Sate kambing is a traditional dish and a type of satay prepared with goat or mutton as the main ingredient. The meat is cut into chunks or cubes and it's marinated in a combination of ingredients such as kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), galangal, ground shallots, pineapple juice, and (often) chili peppers.
After it's been marinated, the meat is placed on skewers that are larger and thicker than the ones used for chicken satay as the texture and thickness of mutton or goat is tougher than chicken. The skewers for sate kambing are usually made from bamboo.

It is commonly regarded as a combination of satay, meat skewers, and gulai, Indonesian curry.
This Javanese delicacy is replete with exotic herbs and spices that give it an exquisite flavor, while the coconut milk gives it a smooth, creamy texture. Beef, mutton, and even chicken are alternatives to the goat meat. Also, it is not uncommon to leave the bones and offal of the meat while cooking the dish for a richer flavor.
MAIN INGREDIENTS
This Indonesian goat stew originated in Surakarta, Java. It is believed that the dish appeared during the Dutch rule when the best goat cuts were usually distributed among the rich, and what was left for the poor were goat bones which still had some meat attached to them.
The bones are cooked in a thin, coconut-milk-based broth that is enriched with various herbs and spices such as turmeric, galangal, lemongrass, cumin, coriander, garlic, and onions, while some establishments also may include the addition of goat innards.
