Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound ground chicken
1 onion, diced
1 clove garlic, crushed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons Madras curry paste (such as Patak's(R))
1 (13.5 ounce) can unsweetened coconut cream
1 bunch fresh cilantro, finely chopped, divided
1 (8 ounce) package phyllo dough
3 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
Egg Wash:
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
Cilantro Yogurt:
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions

1

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, onion, and garlic; cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink, 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add curry paste, stirring well. Add coconut cream and mix well. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 15 minutes.
2

Stir 1/2 of the cilantro into the curry mixture. Remove skillet from heat and let cool completely.
3

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4

Brush each sheet of phyllo dough with melted butter and stack. Cut the phyllo stack into 6 square pieces. Whisk egg and milk in a bowl to make egg wash.
5

Spoon some of the curry mixture into the center of 1 square, ensuring you leave a large border. Brush the border with egg wash and fold into a triangle. Pinch the edges securely and place on a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining phyllo and curry mixture. Brush tops of the triangles with egg wash.
6

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
7

Make the cilantro yogurt while the triangles bake. Combine remaining cilantro, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper in a bowl. Serve with the triangles.
