Aunty Lee’s Easy Candlenut Chicken Curry
(Because when in a hurry, any curry is better than none.)
Buah Keluak can be difficult to find, even if you don’t believe it’s deadly. But a good alternative is the candlenut (the small round nuts also on the cover of this book). Aunty Lee loves the way candlenuts give a nutty, slightly bitter flavor to a curry mix. If you can’t buy candlenuts where you live, you can always substitute macadamias.
Ideally the rempah curry mix would be pounded by hand, but for now, use your food processor. If you use fresh (deseeded) chilies and turmeric instead of chili powder and turmeric powder, good for you—they go in the blender too.
