Boil water in a deep pot and prepare the cabbage by cutting off the core and inserting it into the boiling water.

Turn down the heat to medium and peel off leaves as they cook, using tongs to remove them.

Leave the cabbage leaves to cool before filling them.

Prepare the first filling by mixing jasmine rice, egg, chopped green onions, cumin seeds, chili flakes, salt, and asafoetida.

Prepare the second filling by mixing cooked American long grain rice, cooked Australian brown rice, chopped Canadian Bacon, salt, cumin seeds, asafoetida, chili flakes, and chopped green onions with eggs.

Fill the cabbage leaves with the prepared fillings and arrange them in a greased baking dish.

Cover the rolls with flakes of butter, chopped dill, and cream or milk.

Bake in a moderate oven at 300°F for one to two hours until golden brown.
