Dunkin’ Donuts added four beef-free burgers to its menu this year. Among them: the Original Tough Guy Chicken Burger, right, stuffed with fiery mustard sauce and a Mexican-flavored chorizo chicken patty. The vegetarian option comes with a yam patty.

Earlier this year Domino’s invented a spicy banana pizza for customers in southern India, where bananas are widely grown and used in cooking.

McDonald’s Chicken Maharaja Mac is a beef-free take on the Big Mac. Hindus, who make up most of India’s population, don’t eat beef for religious reasons.

In October, Dunkin’ introduced some India-inspired doughnuts—stuffed, topped and glazed with everything from rice pudding to saffron to crushed pistachios.

Burger King launched in India in November with a beef-free menu. The fast food chain serves Mutton Whoppers, pictured, as well as Chicken and Vegetarian Whoppers.
