Ta-Koh (ตะโก้)
Ta-Koh is a form of Pudding in layer and a kind of Thai dessert. Ta-Koh is known for a long time in Thailand. Nowadays people still create and make it for sale. There are two main kinds of Ta-Koh; Ta-Koh-Tua and Ta-Koh-Pang-Kao-Jao.

Ta-Koh-Tua is made from green bean mixed with syrup and coconut milk. Ta-Koh-Pang-Kao-Jao composes of two layers of coconut milk and rice flour on the top and mixed syrup with truffle or taro or sago below. The name of Ta-Koh depends on the mixture below the top layer. If the mixture is made from truffle or Heaw, it is called Ta-Koh-Heaw. If the mixture is made from taro or Puek, it is called Ta-Koh-Puek, and the mixture made from sago or Sacoo, is called Ta-Koh-Sacoo.

The sweet smell of Ta-Koh usually comes from special water which is scented with different kinds of flower such as jasmine and stored in a tightly closed jar with scented candle before stirring with rice flour and coconut milk. The taste does not depend on making method because the dessert is easily made and does not need too many ingredients. The important thing is proportion and quality of the ingredients and mixture which are delicate flour, clean water, and fresh coconut.

Another important part is the container of Ta-Koh. It is created from pandan leaves which are woven into square cups. If there are not any pandan leaves, banana leaves can be used instead. However, the banana leaves have to be sun-baked before weaving to make it be durable.
