Add a little water if it becomes too hard. Season with salt, pepper, 1/2 tspcumin and 1/2tsp cinnamon. Chill. Prepare the filling: Chop half an onion and cook it in 1 tbs oil until translucent. add the beef and stir until all red has disappeared. Season with salt, pepper and the rest of the spices. Wet your hands with a little water, make golf size balls with the dough and using a finger make a hole in each patty, aiming at having a thin wall. Place 2 tsps filling inside each patty and close giving them an oval shape. Deep fry in plenty of hot oil. Serve with lemon wedges. Notes: You may bake it too, in which case you spread half the dough in a pyrex, top with filling and top with dough. Bake at 350 F for 40 minutes.
