Masala Spiced Burger

Masala Spiced Burger

Updated November 4, 2026

Beef burger with Indian spices, mint chutney, yogurt sauce, and crispy onions.

This has become a signature at Indian-American restaurants. The raita acts like a spiced mayo-sauce hybrid.

Use lamb for an even more traditional protein. Crispy fried onions add essential crunch.
