作法
- 把兩種米粉、椰子絲、煮熟的米、半小匙鹽、200毫升椰漿與水攪打成光滑稀薄的麵糊——像鮮奶油。靜置30分鐘讓澱粉吸水。
- 把剩下的150毫升椰漿與糖、鹽放入小鍋中。加熱至糖溶解；不要煮滾。這是頂層椰漿。
- 把khanom krok鍋（鑄鐵的十二孔半圓凹槽鍋）以中火加熱至滴水即跳。每孔薄抹一層油。
- 麵糊倒入每孔約七分滿。蓋上專用鍋蓋煮一分鐘——底部應微微發出嘶嘶聲固定。
- 舀頂層椰漿到每個半圓球上至滿。在一半上撒青蔥、玉米或芋頭。再蓋三到四分鐘；殼從凹槽脫離時就熟了。
- 用小湯匙把每個半圓球挑出來，兩兩底對底夾成完整球狀。趁熱吃；冷掉的khanom krok失去質感的戲劇性。
