Fried Banana: Kluay Khak or Kluay Tod?

MONDAY, MARCH 17, 2025

Ever bitten into a crispy, sweet Thai fried banana and wondered, "Is this Kluay Khak or Kluay Tod?"  
.
You're not alone! While Kluay Tod simply means "fried banana" (bananas, batter, oil – easy!), Kluay Khak's name has a fascinating history. Turns out, deep-frying wasn't always a Thai staple. It was the influence of Indian immigrants that brought this delicious technique! Some believe "Kluay Khak" reflects that origin. 
.
In Indonesia, it's called Pisang Goreng! 🇮🇳 Regardless of the name, these golden treats are undeniably irresistible. Crispy, sweet, and utterly delicious – a perfect snack! What do you call it where you're from?
