🧂 सामग्री
- 200 g Mung beans
- 500 ml Water
- 400 ml Coconut cream(Full-fat is recommended for richness.)
- 6 Eggs(Large eggs, at room temperature.)
- 200 g Palm sugar(Or substitute with granulated sugar if palm sugar is unavailable.)

👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
Cook the mung beans: Rinse the mung beans thoroughly under cold water. Place them in a saucepan with 500ml of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the beans are very tender and easily mashable. Drain any excess water.
⏱️ 25-30 minutes - 2
Mash the mung beans: Transfer the cooked mung beans to a bowl. Using a fork, potato masher, or a food processor, mash the beans until they form a relatively smooth paste. Some small lumps are acceptable.
⏱️ 5-10 minutes - 3
Prepare the custard base: In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut cream, eggs, finely chopped palm sugar, and salt until well combined and the sugar is mostly dissolved. The mixture should be smooth.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 4
Combine and strain: Add the mashed mung bean paste to the coconut cream mixture. Stir until thoroughly incorporated. For a smoother custard, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into another bowl to remove any remaining lumps or fibers. Discard any solids left in the sieve.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 5
Prepare for baking: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a square or rectangular baking pan (approximately 20x20 cm or similar) with vegetable oil or butter. Pour the custard mixture into the prepared pan.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 6
Bake the custard: Place the pan in the preheated oven. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown. You can test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean. The custard should feel firm to the touch.
⏱️ 50-60 minutes - 7
Cool and serve: Remove the Khanom Mo Kaeng from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. This allows the custard to firm up further. Once cooled, sprinkle generously with fried shallots just before serving. Cut into squares or diamonds.
