Kopi mosallam is whole cauliflower marinated and cooked with a spicy gravy in a typical Mughlai style. It is a shahi recipe, very famous in the country. This is nutritional and easy dish to prepare for parties and on important occasions. People also have their own variations of the recipe. Some stuff it with different stuffings such as beef, cheese, etc. Others cook it with chopped potatoes, tomatoes and peas. The dish goes great with polao alongside borhani. But it goes just as perfectly with plain white rice or naans, parathas or rotis. Mosallam is just one way of cooking cauliflower. The vegetable can be cooked in curry, fried, boiled, eaten raw, whichever. Cauliflower is a good vegetable to consume as it has low sugar, carbohydrate, fat and has no such starch that would harm and affect human's cholesterol.

Preparation Steps for
Kopi Mosallam (Cauliflower Musallam) Recipe
|
-
Make sure to remove any dark spots or bruises from the cauliflower. Wash, cut into medium sized pieces and then soak it in salted water for about an hour. After one hour, drain off water.
-
Heat oil in a karai. Fry onions till brown. Add in the ginger and garlic paste, the cumin, turmeric, red chili and coriander powder and the paprika. Pour in 1 cup water and stir till the oil rises above the gravy.
-
When the water dries off, sprinkle the salt, stir and then put in the whole cauliflower (stem part facing down). Once one side is fried, turn it around.
-
When both the sides are fried, pour in 2 cups of water to make sure the cauliflower cooks properly. Cover and lower the heat to medium. Make sure to turn over the cauliflower after half time.
-
In a bowl, beat the pepper, garam masala, milk/yogurt and sugar together. Add the mixture to the karai. Cook for a further few minutes. Add more water if required. Cover and lower heat. Cook till the oil rises above the curry.
