I tried this while staying in an all-women’s hostel in Shillong. One of the girls was always cooking in the communal kitchen and once offered me a piece. I have had burgers before but the taste of this burger was rich, intense, and carried unexpected warmth.

I asked her how did she make a burger so tasty. She winked at me and said, “My way of staying sane.” I understood. I recreated it during my own anxious spells. The first couple of times it was not as good as hers but over time I mastered it.
