Serundeng (Javanese: ꦱꦿꦸꦤ꧀ꦢꦺꦁ, romanized: Srundèng)[3] refers to a spicy grated coconut side dish or condiment originated in Indonesia that is used to accompany rice.[1]: 17  Serundeng may taste sweet or hot and spicy, according to the recipe variants.[2]: 34, 37 

Its best-known variant is an Indonesian preparation of sautéed grated coconut mixed with spice and other ingredients.[1]: 17  The spiced shredded toasted coconut can be mixed with peanuts,[1] 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.[4]
