    I am going to try this recipe as I prefer making my own pastes. I found a good site that gives substitutes for candlenuts:

    Brazil nuts: 1/3 per candlenut
    Macadamias: 1.5 per candlenut
    Cashews: 1.75 per candlenut
    Blanched almonds: 3 per candlenut

  • I couldn't buy candle nuts -

    I couldn't buy candle nuts - so made the paste without ....and it was still sensational - although quite a dry texture. I have frozen the leftover paste.

    Added to your chicken curry recipe, it was a knockout! We loved it!
