Kanom Wan - Thai sweets

"Kanom Tian" is home-made with coconut, rice-flour and sugar, a drop of rice-wine is an optional refinement I successfully experimented with.
It's a communal activity before one of the many festivities in the local temple:

The riceflour dough is formed into balls around around a coconut/brown sugar core, then coated with oil:

A banana-leaf section is neatly folded to a pyramid with the sweet filling:

The shapes are steamed for about 20 minutes:

Stroller, you make me miss my hometown. Anyway, next weekend I will visit my family in Phichit, if I'm lucky, they would do something like this. (Errr.. I guess not)

I wanna green you but I have to spread it out more. :(

Yeah, I love that stuff

My mother-in -law makes them on special occasions and I always pig out on it

When is the next holiday ? Bugger not until Loy Krathong.

I hate you Stroller, I feel hungry again. Have a greenie.

I love these, especially the green ones with banana. Some have a very dry centre, which is almost savoury - not sure what they are.

Yellow bean

I asked my mum and the sister-in-law if we could do that but the answere was "no". :( So, no piccies of Kanom Wan from me.

Nice bump. Personally my favorite is the savory pumkin, very very close to a decent pumkin pie.
