Burgers or Hamburgers are widely loved across the globe for decades now. Made popular and accessible through fast food chains in India too, this American food is a favourite of many. Meat lovers enjoy beef and chicken burgers and vegetarian burger options with potato and paneer do exist to cater to the tastebuds of Indian vegetarians.
