Khanom Khrok Tom Kha Kai is a traditional Thai snack made from coconut milk, galangal, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and chicken. The batter is usually made from rice flour, coconut milk, sugar, and salt. The mixture is poured into small cups and cooked on a special griddle with charcoal. Once the batter sets, they are filled with the chicken and coconut milk mixture flavored with herbs and spices. The snack is served warm with a sweet and salty chili sauce. It is a delicious and flavorful treat that is enjoyed as a snack or dessert by many in Thailand.
