Khanom thuai talai (Thai: ขนมถ้วยตะไล, Thai pronunciation: [kʰā.nǒm tʰûaj tā.lāj]), usually shortened to khanom thuai (ขนมถ้วย), is a Thai dessert made from rice flour, coconut milk and sugar.[1] Its name is derived from the small ceramic cups in which the dessert is cooked and distinctively served, which are called thuai talai ("talai" bowls). Ingredients may also include salt, eggs and pandan essence.
Khanom thuai has a sweet taste in contrast with a salty taste. There are two parts of the Khanom thuai, the "body" and the "face". The body is at the bottom with the face resting on it.
