The story of Sate Madura begins with Arya Panoleh, the ruler of Sumanep, East Java, who visited the house of his older brother, Batara Katong, who ruled in Ponorogo.
When he arrived at his brother’s place, Arya Panoleh was served food made from meat skewered with a stick and seasoned. Arya Panoleh refused because he had never enjoyed this dish.
Finally, Arya Panoleh wanted to consume Madura Sate, after his older brother told him that this menu was usually eaten by warriors in Ponorogo. However, his older brother then said that this food was usually eaten by Ponorogo warriors.
Arya Panoleh’s clothes at that time were all black warok clothes and striped t-shirts which are also characteristic of Madurese people. Initially, satay with sticks was only found in Sumenep, before finally spreading to the plains of Madura Island.
