Put the mince in a large bowl.

Pour oil mix into the mince and mix well using your hands to make sure the spices are evenly mixed.
Shape the mixture into 4 balls and pat down to form burgers.
Put the burgers on a plate and put in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Chop the onions. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan.
Fry chopped onions until soft and slightly brown and put them into a small bowl.
Put another tablespoon of oil onto the frying pan and fry the burgers until cooked on both sides. Tip: Cut 1 burger through the middle – if it is NOT pink it is cooked through.
