Grate and squeeze the onion in a bowl. Add the onion to the minced meat.
-
Season the meat with salt, black pepper, turmeric and garlic powder. Mix everything well, making sure the spices are evenly distributed.
-
Shape the seasoned minced meat into hamburger patties. Make sure the patties are slightly larger than the buns as they will shrink when cooked.
-
Place the patties on a tray, cover and place in the freezer for about an hour. This helps them hold together and makes them easier to fry.

Put some oil in a pan and cook it over a simmer. Once the oil is hot, cook the hamburgers for 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through.

A minute before the hamburgers are done, add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, black pepper, and lemon juice to make a tangy burger sauce.
