Khanon i (Burmese: ခနုံအီ; pronounced [kʰənòʊɴʔì]; also spelt khanon e) is a traditional Burmese snack or mont. The word khanon comes from Thai khanom (lit. 'dessert'). The snack is essentially a patty of steamed glutinous rice and peanut oil, garnished with coconut shavings.

Khanon i originates in Upper Myanmar, where it is considered a royal delicacy, along with khanon htok.[1] A series of Burmese–Siamese wars beginning with Hsinbyushin's reign resulted in the emergence of Thai-inspired delicacies, including khanon htok, shwe yin aye, and mont let hsaung.[2]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
