Khanom tom

Khanom tom is a traditional dessert consisting of boiled rice flour dumplings, coated with shredded coconut, and stuffed with a filling of shredded coconut melted along with palm sugar and coconut milk. The coconut filling is commonly infused with flower fragrance by using scented candles, while pandan leaves or butterfly pea extract are often added to the dough for color, fragrance, and flavor.

These soft and aromatic coconut rice flour balls are available in markets throughout Southeast Asia, but they are also commonly sold on street stalls.
