Green curry is already a well-known staple of many Asian diets, but KALDI's product gets its color from a source other than spicy peppers—green tea. Other than matcha, the curry is made with a blend of azuki red beans, sautéed onions, powdered coconut milk, ground chicken and chicken bouillon, which comes in a convenient pouch that can be quickly heated. For home preparation, this can either be done on the stove or in the microwave.
The curry is described as mild and flavorful, with a hint of matcha that you can actually taste. With a slight adjustment to the ingredient list of this green curry, the dish is transformed from a classic Thai recipe to a simple Japanese meal.
