Kow Neuw Mamuang-mango on sticky rice

Thai dishes are internationally famed. Mango on sticky rice is a traditional Thai dish which is very famous as a summer dessert. All of us know that mango is a summer fruit and that is why this dessert can be best enjoyed in the months of April and May. Mango on sticky rice is really delicious and you should taste this once in a lifetime.

You can make it in a very simple way. One ripe mango is peeled and sliced. The coconut milk and sticky rice has already been prepared and kept aside. Now, this sticky rice should be placed on a small plate and then top it with peeled mango. The coconut milk can be served by spoon on top of it to garnish the whole dish and makes it more attractive.

Thai desserts are very original and they have no similarity with the Western desserts. In Thai dishes you will always get indigenous ingredients. In Thailand, you won’t get cake made in Western style. Even many chefs don’t know how to make cake in that style. They don’t even use measuring cups while preparing some delicious cakes. The flavors are more or less mentioned as a mixture of sweet and coconut milk. A typical Thai meal always ends with a sweet dessert or some fresh fruits. If you have kids at home you can try making Loog Choob or miniature fruit. In my next post I will try to write the recipe so that you can try once and see your child’s happy face.
