'''''Khao tom mat''''' ({{lang-th|ข้าวต้มมัด}}, {{IPA-th|kʰâ(ː)w tôm mát|pron}}) is a traditional [[Thai]] dessert eaten by [[Thai cuisine|Thai]] people<ref>{{cite web|url=https://en.mthai.com/thaiculture/1321.html|title=Thai Wisdom: Wrappers in Thai Dessert|access-date=March 10, 2021}}</ref>, consisting of seasoned steamed [[sticky rice]] wrapped in banana leaves.<ref>[http://www.thai-blogs.com/2005/09/29/sticky-rice-with-bananas/ Sticky Rice with Bananas] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130603103136/http://www.thai-blogs.com/2005/09/29/sticky-rice-with-bananas/ |date=2013-06-03}}</ref>

Dishes that are similar to ''Khao tom mat'' can also be found in the [[Philippines]] (known as ''[[suman (food)|suman]]''), [[Cambodia]] (known as [[Bánh_tét#In_Cambodia|ansom chek]]), [[Indonesia]] (''[[lepet]]'') and foods from [[Vietnam]] such as [[bánh tét]] and [[Bánh chưng]].

==Variants==
This dessert can be either savoury (filled with pork fat and [[mung bean]]) or sweet (filled with [[coconut milk]] and [[banana]]). In Thailand, ''Khao tom tam'' is sometimes colored blue with ''[[Clitoria ternatea]]'' flowers.

==Traditions==
The ''Sai Krachat'' tradition (ประเพณีใส่กระจาด), also known as ''Suea Krachat'' or ''Soe Krachat'' in [[Phuan language]] is a merit-making Buddhist tradition of the Thai [[Phuan people]] of in [[Ban Mi District]], [[Lopburi Province]]. It takes place on the eve of the [[Great Birth Sermon]] celebration. One day prior to the Sai Krachat Day, people wrap ''khao tom'' and grind rice for ''[[khao pun]]'' rice noodles. The next day is the Sai Krachat Day when people bring things such as bananas, sugar cane, oranges, candles, and joss sticks or other items to put into the bamboo baskets at the houses of the people they know, while the hosts bring the prepared food to welcome their guests. When the visitors wish to go home, the host gives ''khao tom mat'' as a souvenir in return called ''Khuen Krachat''.<ref>[http://www.thaifood-recipe.com/recipes/18/Kao_tom_mad.html Steamed glutinous rice cakes with banana recipe]</ref>

In [[Thailand]], ''khao tom mat'' is the symbol of couples because the couple are matched and bound together with thin bamboo-strip (string). Thai people believe that if a pair of people offer ''khao tom mat'' to monks on Khao Phansa Day, which is beginning of the 3 months of [[Vassa|Buddhist lent]] during the rainy season and the time when monks retreat to a [[monastery]] and concentrate on [[Buddhist]] teachings,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://en.azizen.com/sweet-treats/khao-tom-mad-banana-sticky-rice-and-coconut/|title=Khao tom mat–banana sticky rice and coconut|access-date=2017-01-09|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201043425/http://en.azizen.com/sweet-treats/khao-tom-mad-banana-sticky-rice-and-coconut/|archive-date=2017-12-01|url-status=dead}}</ref> married life will be smooth and there will be a stable love like a pair of ''khao tom mat''.

''Khao tom mat'' is also a traditional Thai dessert for [[Wan Ok Phansa|Ok Phansa Day]] (the end of Buddhist lent in late October.), but it is then called ''Khao tom luk yon'' ({{lang-th|ข้าวต้มลูกโยน}}). It is wrapped up in a young [[Licuala spinosa | mangrove fan palm]] leaf ({{lang-th|ใบกะพ้อ}}) with long-tails to hold before tossing them to a [[Buddha image]], after which [[monk]]s can carry them away.
