Add ground cumin and sumac to the beef-rice mixture before assembling the rolls.
Blanch cabbage leaves in boiling water for 2 minutes, then drain and set aside.
In a bowl, mix ground beef, rice, onion, cumin, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
Place a spoonful of mixture in the center of each cabbage leaf, roll tightly, and secure with toothpicks.
In a pot, add tomato sauce, arrange rolls, cover, and simmer 40-50 minutes until tender.
Check that the ground meat reaches 71°C (160°F) throughout before serving.
