About the dish

Golpi is a traditional vegetable-based dish originating from Afghanistan. The dish is usually made with a combination of cauliflower florets, oil, onions, salt, garlic, curry powder, sugar, tomatoes, bay leaves, white vinegar, and spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, cumin, coriander, and cloves. The onions and garlic are fried in oil and mixed with the spices, sugar, bay leaves, salt, tomatoes, and vinegar until the sauce thickens. The cauliflower and boiling water are then added to the pot, and the dish is simmered over low heat until the florets are fully cooked but not falling apart. Golpi is typically served hot in a large bowl and it's recommended to pair it with plain rice on the side.
