This information also solves the problem of the location of the origin of Sate Maranggi, which was previously claimed by a Sate Trader in Wanayasa District, who is familiarly called Mak Unah and who has been trading since 1970, meaning that he is 8 years younger than Sate Maranggi Mang Udeng in Plered District.

However, the satay sold by Mang Unah initially did not mention the name Sate Maranggi," but only "Grilled Sate.

On the official website of the Ministry of Education and Culture, Directorate General of Culture of the Republic of Indonesia, it was also revealed that Mak Unah also knew that in Plered District there had previously been a satay seller, namely Mang Udeng.

The meat used at that time came from beef or buffalo. Mak Unah also said that previously she used buffalo and beef as ingredients.

However, around 1965, Mak Unah modified it by using other meat with a special blend of spices, such as lamb. According to him, lamb satay is better than other meats.

Examining the historical data above, between Wanayasa and Plered, there is a synergy that sticks out the name Maranggi, a popular culinary dish that has become an icon of Purwakarta Regency.

Indeed, in looking at the year numbers, Wanayasa is indeed younger than Plered. However, judging from the type of meat used, these two areas can be said to be the origins of Maranggi satay in Purwakarta Regency.

Wanayasa is the "creator" of Sate Maranggi using lamb meat, while Plered is the "creator" of Sate Maranggi using beef and buffalo.
