Khanom tom (Thai: ขนมต้ม, pronounced [kʰā.nǒm tôm]) and Khanom kho (ขนมโค, [kʰā.nǒm kʰōː]) are closely related traditional Thai desserts. Khanom tom is used in Central Thailand, while khanom kho comes from Southern Thailand. Khanom kho are boiled glutinous rice dumplings stuffed with a palmyra palm sugar cube and rolled in shredded coconut, while khanom tom have caramelized shredded coconut fillings.[1] They are approximately the size of large gumballs and come in different colors, typically red, green, blue, purple, or off-white (sans food coloring). They are sometimes served in a bath of warm coconut milk. Khanom kho are sold in markets, food stalls, and restaurants and made in homes throughout Southern Thailand. They are served at ceremonies, festivals, parties, and weddings.[2][3][4] Due to its similarities, it is closely related to the Indian modak.[5]

Taste
Lonely Planet describes the taste of khanom kho as follows:
The outer coating of grated coconut is rich and oily, and so fresh it has a natural crispness to it. The wrapping, made of just water and sticky rice flour, is soft and slightly sticky. The sweetness of khanom kho comes only from the inside, where a piece of palmyra palm sugar is planted, and provides a nutty caramel flavour and a little crunch. A hint of saltiness added to the outer shreds of coconut, enhances the flavour of the sweet core.[2]
Ingredients
Khanom kho are made from glutinous rice flour, palmyra palm sugar, grated coconut, salt, butterfly pea flowers or purple food coloring, and pandan leaves for coloring.[4][6]
