any one know how to cook buah keras (black candle nut) chicken?

I think you got the name wrong.

 

Buah Keras is Candlenut

it is commonly used in curries more as a thickening agent.

 

whereas,

Buah Keluak is Pangium Edule. Please note that this seeds are poisonous if not clean properly. So DO SOAK AND SCRUB throughly before breaking it to use the 'flesh' or 'pulp' inside.

Actually most curries taste better after a day unless it turn rancid. The trick is to make huge pot of curry gravy and only little meat. Than add the meat as day goes by so that the gravy is more robust and yet have tender but not over cooked meat.

the joy of eating buah keluak is to scrap the nut from the shell. using just the paste kills half the joy of eating it.

I am a baba and my family's recipe mixes chicken with spare ribs.  however most peranakan restaurants do it the easy way using only chicken.
