Traditionally, tongseng is considered as the merge between lamb satay and gulai spicy soup. According to Indonesian culinary experts, tongseng started to appear in Java between the 18th to 19th centuries CE. At that time, during the colonial era, there was a significant influx of Arabs and Muslim Indians who migrated into the Indonesian archipelago. The Arabs settlers introduced and promoted goat, lamb, and mutton as their preferred meat, thus several dishes influenced by Arab and Muslim Indian culinary traditions were introduced to Java. Among others are sate kambing, which was believed to be the local adaptation of Indian-Muslim kebabs, and gulai, which was a local adaptation of curry-based soup probably influenced by Indian cuisine.

During the 19th century, the southern area of Central Java was developed as a sugar plantation, thus sugar mills were built. Next to common sugar, traditional Javanese palm sugar (gula jawa) were also produced in the region. Soy sauce factory also built in the region, as the result local Javanese developed kecap manis, which is sweet soy sauce made of a mixture of soy sauce and palm sugar. This sweet soy sauce becomes the main sauce that combines the savory gulai soup with pieces of goat satay and the fresh crisp of cabbages and tomato.

Tongseng is Indonesian goat meat, mutton, or beef stew dish in curry-like soup with vegetables and kecap manis (sweet soy sauce). 

Tongseng is commonly found in the Indonesian region of Central Java; from Surakarta to Yogyakarta. However, it is believed that the dish was originated from Klego district in Boyolali, Central Java

Today, tongseng is a common dish in Javanese cities of Boyolali, Surakarta (Solo), Klaten, and Yogyakarta, thus most tongseng sellers hailed from those towns. The dish is also can be found in Indonesian major cities, such as Jakarta, Bandung, Semarang, and Surabaya. Tongseng sellers usually marketed themselves as Warung Sate Solo, a warung or small modest restaurant that specialized in offering satay, tongseng, and gulai as their main fare.

Today I will share my tongseng recipe using lamb meat. If you are my blog regular reader, you may remember my previous tongseng recipe. The difference is I didn't use coconut milk in my previous recipe. But in today's version, I use coconut milk for my lamb tongseng. Both recipes turn great for me. If I didn't have coconut milk in hand, I just go to my first recipe.
