Samosa or burger, which one is healthier? Can you decide? Well, too late the verdict is out now.

Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) has released a report which proves that a samosa is any day better for health than a burger. The reason behind samosa landmark victory against the obvious ‘foreign hand’ – is that it is made using fresh ingredients and is free of additives, preservatives and flavouring.

A samosa is made using refined wheat flour, boiled potatoes, cumin, spices, salt, chillies, vegetable oil or ghee, the report suggests, that even if it might be high on calories, it is cooked largely with chemical-free ingredients. On the other side, a burger contains preservatives, acidity regulator, improver, antioxidant and emulsifier.

A burger is made using refined wheat flour, wheat gluten, sugar, salt, yeast, sesame seed, mayonnaise, vegetables / potato / chicken / mutton patty and edible vegetable oil.

So, here is the verdict: Samosa just became great again.
