Ingredients

edit
Shredding or grating coconut flesh; it can be made as coconut milk or serundeng.

Grated coconut flesh forms an essential part of serundeng in Indonesian cuisine.[5]Freshly shredded coconut, instead of grated coconut left over from makingcoconut milk,gives a richer taste. The coconut flesh should be young coconut with a firm texture, and grated to create long pieces.[6]To make serundeng, spices and seasonings like onions, chili peppers, garlic, onion, coriander, turmeric, sugar, tamarind, bay leaves (daun salam), lime leaves (daun jeruk purut), andgalangalare ground to a paste, and fried.[7]Then, grated coconut is sauteed (fried with minimal or without oil) until golden brown, and mixed with the seasoning paste. Roasted peanuts might be added for additional crunchy texture and taste.
