Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add onion and cook until golden, ~2 minutes.
Step 2
Add diced potato and curry powder. Stir constantly for 4 minutes until potato begins to soften.
Step 3
Stir in peas and cook 2 more minutes until potatoes are tender. Transfer to a plate and cool slightly.
Step 4
Place 1 phyllo sheet on a cutting board. Brush lightly with oil, then spoon 2 tbsp filling into the center.
Step 5
Fold the sheet into a triangle, then seal edges by pressing firmly. Repeat with remaining sheets and filling.
