However, I was impressed by how it&#8217;s made into a gift box and then fried. If you want to make something fancy to impress your guests or for a party, this will make a really fancy appetizer.<\/p>\n<p>I used the chicken masala that I usually make for stuffing samosas. Also, I used both wheat and white flour to make the dough. For making the ribbon,\u00a0I dyed the dough with green as I only had that colour in my pantry. You could \u00a0use any colour of your choice, red would look really good. On the center of the ribbons I placed a star, you can use any shapes: heart shapes, flowers etc.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the picture shared by my reader: Loved the red ribbons and the heart shape.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18465\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/meat-box.jpg\"
