Hi kugan!!!
Glad u have tasted Khanom Kroh......i too love it. Would surely try it when u post the recipe. Also could you ask your friend...there is another sweet that I used to buy it on the road side just in front of Thai Daimaru...not sure if that complex is still around....its brown in color...small round shaped balls deep fried....i know for sure there is no eggs in it as I always ask the same question before buying & wld get the same answer "no egg" :rotfl:
Will try to find out the name of it.....in the mean time....thks for yr efforts...selviem...that is a nice kadaiyal....:-)
