  khanom chan

 

Thailand

Khanom chan, literally ‘steamed layer candy’ is a kind of ancient traditional dessert made in layers, usually nine, as this is an auspicious number, and which is steamed similar to dumplings.

 

It is also often made in the shape of a flower, akin to khanom cho muang (fig.), though whereas the latter have a pinkish, violet, purple or lilac hue, khanom chan can be of any colour.
