candlenuts
Hawaiian lamp fuel
Candlenuts are the oily seeds of a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia and the Pacific islands.
The name comes from their traditional use as primitive candles—strung on a stick and burned for light.
In cooking, roasted candlenuts thicken and enrich curries and sauces, especially in Indonesian and Malaysian cuisine: The recipe calls for ground candlenuts as a base for the satay sauce.
