Cauliflower Kuku (Persian Omlette)

Kuku might sound like a silly name but it is a delicious omlette made in Iran. Before 1935 Iran was called Persia and Jewish people have lived in Persia for almost 2500 years!
Kuku are light and fluffy and often contain vegetables. Here I am using cauliflower in it. Persians introduced the Moors to spinach and cauliflower was introduced to Persian cuisine from neighboring Asia Minor (now part of Turkey).
