Serundeng (from Javanese ꦱꦿꦸꦤ꧀ꦢꦺꦁ 'srundèng') refers to a Javanese spiced grated coconut side dish or condiment originated in Indonesia that is used to accompany rice. Serundeng may taste sweet or hot and spicy, according to the recipe variants.
Its best-known variant is an Indonesian preparation of sautéed grated coconut mixed with spice and other ingredients. The spiced shredded toasted coconut can be mixed with peanuts, used as a condiment to add flavour, or used as a garnish sprinkled upon rice-based dishes, such as steamed rice, lontong, ketan sticky rice, and burasa; or upon traditional soto soups.
Serundeng can also be considered a separate dish if mixed with main ingredients, such as serundeng daging, which is fried meat, usually beef, served in this serundeng spiced coconut floss.
