Candlenuts (Buah Keras) 20g

Candlenuts are known as Buah Keras in Malay and Kemiri in Indonesian. They are a very common thickening agent in Malay, Indonesian, Nyonya and Eurasian cooking. They are more often than not, used in curries and sambals to enrich the flavour as well as the texture.

You must always cook candlenuts before consumption because they are slightly toxic when raw.
