    I heard from some pernankans they do not add meat to the buah keluak paste. Is it true? I always add meat to the buah kelauk . They said my way is not traditional . Which is the traditional way.?

    Can chicken or beef be used for a halal version for the stuffing in the shell?

    Yes, chicken mince inside the keluak with spiced chicken would go well. Alternatively, as a simpler but equally authentic version, no need to dig the keluak flesh out, but crack them open and ensure the flesh inside is sound (not rotted, mouldy etc.). Cook with the chicken pieces in the sauce, then provide small coffee spoons for guests to dig out the flesh... let's call it "treasure hunting" as they're excavating "black gold", otherwise they might gobble down the whole dish even faster!!

    Traditionally, the lemongrass must be grinded together with the other rempah and fry in hot oil. Also, traditional Ayam Buah Keluak does not use pork and meat is not re-filled into the nut case. Nowadays it is quite difficult to find the whole nut, so I just tumis the buah keluak fillings together with the rempah. This way it makes the gravy nicer. The elder Peranakans especially in Melaka do not consume pork.

    On the contrary, some of the older Peranakans still have an affinity for porcine stuff (can be attested to by their presence in the Dim Sum eateries wolfing down the siew mai & such) though many today prefer non-meat food, and those who are of the Buddhist persuasion (which includes many of the younger generation) have become incorrigible vegans! But, whether meat is added or not for the buah keluak filling is entirely up to individual taste & preference as food recipes are not etched in stone!

    As long as it taste nice , by mortar n pestle or chopper makes no difference. Nowadays, everyone need to work who have the time to sit there n pound? I had been cooking nonya food for 2 decades . I use the chopper . So far no complain about my food . Does restaurant use the mortar n pestle to make their rempah?

    Rempah Tete. Buah kuala so confused. Soak earth 40 days or water 3 days. Soak water 3 days can get rid poison? If wrong serve people is it like fugu

    Soaking is only to rinse off the dust and to help soften the keluak meat inside. The keluak nuts that we all can buy at the markets have all been fermented in ashes to remove the poison. This is also true when you buy it in the markets in Indonesia where the nuts originate from. Unless you pick your keluak nuts directly from the tree, there is no need to bury them in ashes.
