How to make Tub Tim Grob

Why cooks start here

Tub Tim Grob is cooked the way water-chestnut rubies cooks it — salt judged by hand, fat used generously, and the table set for sharing. This is the home version, written down the way a thai family cook actually puts it on the table.

Tub Tim Grob, often referred to as 'red rubies', is a beloved Thai dessert that graces tables during family gatherings and special occasions. This dish is a home kitchen treasure, crafted with the care and precision of a Thai family cook's practiced hands. Each ruby-like morsel, created from water chestnuts, brings a touch of elegance to any meal, celebrated for its vibrant color and refreshing taste. A bowl of Tub Tim Grob is a delightful contrast of textures and flavors. The crunch of the water chestnuts is enveloped by a soft tapioca coating, while a generous drizzle of creamy coconut milk adds richness. A hint of sugar and a whisper of salt balance the sweetness, creating a harmonious blend that invites a second helping.
