Masala Egg Burger.

Masala Egg Burger .....

Burgers are a favourite among kids. Every one is aware of the famous Mac Donald's Burger. There is always a tikki / cutlet inside the burger which is either tava fried or deep fried. This plays the most important role in a burger with second being cheese and then ketchup, other salad dressings are also added on. 

This is a simple burger prepared using a thick masala egg dosa which you can call as tikki too. We simply love it with the thick egg omelette specially prepared with lots of masalas.
