Ingredients

200 grams Chevre Tihi

10 sheets filo pastry

50 grams butter, melted

¼ cup toasted desiccated coconut

Apricot and curry dip

1 tablespoon butter

1 small onion, peeled and sliced

2 teaspoons curry powder

Method

1.  Cut the Chevre Tihi cheese into about 20 long thin pieces, each 4-5cm long.
