Followed a recipe , very basic , but makes no mention of cooking , or heating.
Basically thrown together :
Chillis
Candlenut
Tumeric
some Olive Oil
Red Onion
Galangal
Carlic
Tumeric
and ground to a paste.

no cooking required

Simmer it for about 10 minutes until fragrant.Candlenuts are mildly toxic raw, and the flavours need to develop with heating.

i would think you need to cook, and if you google should candlenuts be cooked I think you will agree with david4t.
