Gently heat the oil in a large saucepan and sauté the onion, garlic and sweet potato until soft for about 15 minutes.
Add the chickpeas and curry powder and cook for 3 more minutes then set aside to cool.
Spray one filo sheet with the spray and place another sheet on top. Cut in half to make two squares. Spray the sheets on top. Do the same with the rest of the sheets so you end up with 8 squares.
Divide the filling equally between the 8 sheets placing it in the middle of each sheet.
