These Thai Chicken Curry Pastries are a fusion of Thai and Mediterranean cuisines, combining the traditional flavors of a spicy chicken curry with the flaky phyllo pastry typically used in Greek and Middle Eastern cuisine. They make for a delicious snack or appetizer that is both exotic and satisfying. The pastries have a golden brown crust that gives way to a juicy and flavorful filling inside, making them the perfect comfort food for a cold night in.

2.In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; stir in garlic and cook until fragrant.

4.Add potato, sugar, oyster sauce, and onion; cook until onion is tender and mixture is heated through.
5.Remove from heat.
6.Unroll phyllo pastry sheets and cover with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.

9.Fold the pastry squares diagonally to form triangles, pressing the edges to seal.
