Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
• 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
• 1/4 cup frozen peas
• 1/4 cup carrots, finely diced
• Salt, to taste
• Pepper, to taste
• 1 package puff pastry sheets, thawed
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add curry powder, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the skillet. Stir well to coat the onions and garlic with the spices.
4. Add the cooked chicken, frozen peas, and diced carrots to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables are heated through.
5. Remove the skillet from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
6. On a lightly floured surface, unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.
7. Place a spoonful of the curry filling in the center of each pastry square. Fold the pastry over to form a triangle and press the edges firmly to seal.
8. Transfer the filled triangles onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with beaten egg to give them a golden color when baked.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden.
10. Remove from the oven and let the baked curry triangles cool slightly before serving.
11. Serve the baked curry triangles warm as an appetizer or snack.
