Step 1

In a pot, add vegetable oil and chopped shallots, cook for 30 seconds, then add potato, chicken and 1 tbsp of curry paste. Cook for 30 seconds.

Step 2

Add water and coconut milk to pot. Once mixture comes to a boil and chicken is cooked, taste mixture and add more curry paste if needed. Also add salt and sugar to taste.

Step 3

Cook until potatoes are tender and cook down the liquid until it looks more like a paste. Turn off heat and let it cool for 30 minutes.

Step 4

While waiting for filling to cool, pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F and beat up one egg.

Step 5

Cut each puff pastry sheet into 4 squares

Step 6

Once filling is cool, add filling to each puff pastry sheet, creating a triangle on one side of the square pastry sheet (see picture). Then brush egg mixture to all sides of the square.
