Serabi,[a] surabi,[b] or srabi[c] is a traditional Balinese–Javanese snack, similar to a pancake, made of a rice flour-based batter with coconut milk or coconut cream and shredded coconut as an emulsifier. Most traditional serabi tastes sweet, as these pancake-like desserts are usually eaten with kinca, a golden-brown coconut sugar syrup in the Sundanese culinary tradition.
However, another savoury version also existed that uses fermented oncom toppings. Different provinces in Indonesia have their own serabi recipes corresponding to local tastes.[1][2]
