Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 pkg phyllo dough
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 small red onion, chopped
  • 1 tbsp garlic ginger paste
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (or less to taste)
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • 3 tbsp butter, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper then set aside. 
  2. In a large skillet, over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. 
  3. To the butter, add the chopped purple onion and saute, stirring regularly, for 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent. 
  4. Add the ginger-garlic paste, cumin, coriander, curry powder, and red pepper flakes and stir to combine with the onions.  Cook for 1 minute until fragrant, then add lime juice and stir well. 
  5. Add the ground chicken and cilantro to the mixture and continue mixing to combine.  Cook on medium heat for 8-10 minutes until cooked through. Stir and break up chicken as it cooks so it becomes a small crumbled mixture. 
  6. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. 
  7. Separate 2 sheets of phyllo dough and place on your work surface then brush with melted butter. 
  8. Place a heaping spoon of the chicken mixture on the far end of the pastry at an angle.  
  9. Fold the pastry over the chicken at an angle to form a triangle.  
  10. Continue folding the pastry back and forth creating a triangle pocket that is several layers thick with chicken in the middle. 
  11. Repeat this process making 8-9 pastries. 
  12. Place the filled pastries on the baking sheet and brush the top with additional butter. 
  13. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden on top and crispy. 
  14. Serve with dipping sauce or alongside your favorite Indian cuisine.
