Mash the mung beans with palm sugar, sesame, and half of the salt to make the filling.
Knead the glutinous rice flour, coconut milk, brown sugar, and remaining salt.
Take pieces of dough, fill with the mixture, and shape into small cones.
Briefly pass the banana leaves through hot water to make them flexible.
Wrap the filled dough pieces in banana leaf.
Steam for 25 minutes.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
💡 Tip: Heating the banana leaf prevents it from cracking while wrapping; close the parcels tightly so steam gelatinizes the dough evenly.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve khanom thian in small portions with tea, opening the leaf at the table so the aroma rises.
