Thai Coconut Pudding: Khanom-Krok (ขนมครก)



        Khanom-Krok is one of my favorite Thai desserts that  includes all delicious ingredients such as coconut milk, flour, and palm sugar. There are a variety of toppings such as green onions, corn, pumpkin, taro, or your favorites. This sweet indulgence is composed of two batters, one salty and one sweet, both are cooked in a hot pan. Once they are firm combining two half-circular cakes into a circular shape.
