Khanom khuai ling

From WikiMD.com - Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Khanom khuai ling is a traditional Thai dessert, often served at special occasions and festivals. It is made from bananas, coconut milk, and sugar, and is known for its distinctive shape, which resembles a monkey's testicles, hence the name "khuai ling" which translates to "monkey balls" in English.

History[edit | edit source]

The origins of Khanom khuai ling are believed to date back to the Ayutthaya Kingdom, a Siamese kingdom that existed from 1350 to 1767. The dessert was traditionally made by the royal chefs for the king and his court. Over time, the recipe was passed down through generations and became a popular dessert among the general population.

Preparation[edit | edit source]

The preparation of Khanom khuai ling involves several steps. First, ripe bananas are peeled and mashed into a paste. The paste is then mixed with coconut milk and sugar to create a dough. The dough is shaped into small balls, which are then boiled until they become firm. The balls are then rolled in shredded coconut before being served.

Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]

Khanom khuai ling holds a significant place in Thai culture. It is often served at festivals and special occasions, such as weddings and birthdays. The dessert is also commonly offered to monks during religious ceremonies.
