I use the candlenuts when making Otak, it has to be ground to powder before adding it as a last ingredient to the final mixture of fish & spice. This would give the Otak a nutty flavour, but more importantly holding the mixture well. Similar to the use of cornflour as a thickening base.
Unfortunately, I haven't managed to find this in Sri Lanka but you can get them easily in Singapore or Malaysia.
