5 fast-food chains with tempting Hybrid menus

In many ways, the Indian palate is completely bizarre. On one hand we find it hard to resist the deep fried, crispy-crunchy American fast food, and on the other, we're constantly searching for the familiar whenever we go out to eat. The Indian obsession with our classic, undoubtedly cliched, and much-adored flavors follows us even as we open a pack of Lay's Magic Masala; so don't think that the fast food chains haven't noticed.

They definitely have, which is why a simple glance into the menus in our favorite joints reveals variants that really can't be found, (or even dreamt of) anywhere else in the world. These are blends of all that we hold dear - mangoes, curry, paneer and even Chinese ingredients!

Here's a guide to 5 of our most popular fast-food chains and their hybrid options for your reading (and drooling) pleasure:

1. McDonald's

Yes, we all have tried the McAloo Tikki, McVeggie, and Maharaja Mac, but there are tons of other fusion variants that have been wonderfully Indianised by this burger chain.

Around the release of Kung Fu Panda 3, McDonald's introduced their Snackilicious Chinese Menu. This offers the McVeggie and McChicken Schezwan burgers these are succulent, fiery, and layered with spicy schezwan sauce, dotted with black sesame and topped with red onions, bell peppers and iceberg lettuce.

You can also go for the Chilli Paneer Pockets, a creation that has its roots in the chilli potatoes you can find with almost any street vendor in North India.

More Tadka: Masala Grill burger (both veg and non-veg), McSpicy Chicken, McSpicy Paneer, Spicy Paneer Wrap, and Fanta McFloat.

2. Dominos
