Burger

                                                         Burger

       I heard about burger long back in 1997, when my cousin's used to say that they relished this dish. It was like Greek and Latin to me. One day my Geetha Pinni ( My Mom's younger Sister) took me to a restaurant in Anna Nagar "Chariot" near the famous 14 shops.
       I joined my cousins who were waiting for me to have their brunch. They ordered burgers and hot dogs, some french fries and milkshakes for all of us. My cousin (Prashanthi's) explained me what a burger is and how it is made etc.
       Never in my dream, I thought I would do one. My son is a fan of burger, he likes it more Indianised with fresh vegetables and a veggie Pattie. Coming to this recipe.
