South Indian Filter Coffee-How to make Filter coffee
South India is very famous for it aromatic filter coffee.South Indian coffee is
milky and is served hot in a traditional tumbler and davara (see pic below). I
love coffee very much - by coffee I mean filter coffee.I do not like these instant
coffee varieties and never drink it. Earlier I was so much addicted to coffee and
could not do any work in the morning without my cup of hot filter coffee.
Though I have switched to oats porridge now, I still love filter coffee very
much and drink occasionally or when I am in a mood to drink coffee. My most
favorite brand is Lavazza. When it comes to local brands, I prefer narasus coffee
powder.
South Indian Filter Coffee
South Indian coffee is brewed in a coffee filter.It comes in different sizes.Choose
a filter according to your family needs.The coffee filter has 2 containers, an
upper container with holes, a lower container to collect the decoction, a lid and a
pressing disc with a center handle to press the powder which I do not have with
me (so not shown in the picture).
South Indian Coffee Filter
How to make Filter coffee
Howto prepare Filter Coffee (South Indian)
You will get 2 cups of coffee f or this measurement
Ingredients needed
Coffee filter
Coffee Powder - 3 tbsp ( I used Narasus coffee powder)
Water - 3/4 cup
Fresh Milk for 2 cups of coffee
Sugar as required
Method
1. Put 3 tbsp of coffee powder in the upper container, fix it on top of the lower
container and tap the container gently, so that the powder will settle evenly.
2. Bring water to rolling boil and pour it over the coffee powder. Close it with a
lid and leave it undisturbed for 10-15 minutes.
3. The coffee decoction will get collected in the lower container .See picture 3
4. Boil milk. Pour little decoction in a cup and add milk and sugar to taste. If you
want it strong, add more decoction, if you prefer mild, add less decoction. Serve
hot and frothy in tumbler and davara. Enjoy the aroma and the taste of South
Indian filter coffee.
Tips for brewing a perfect filter coffee
Use fresh coffee powder, fresh decoction and fresh milk.
Coffee with left over decoction or old stock coffee powder does not taste good.
So try to make fresh decoction every time you prepare coffee.
If the holes of the coffee filter is blocked, showit in direct flame for 2-3 seconds.
Dry the filter well before adding coffee powder.
Meet you with more interesting recipe. Have a good day!

I tried it first when I was in Banglore. I liked it so much that I had it
everyday till I was there. I amnot sure if I can get the same coffee
powder you use as I reside in North India. Can I use the brands like
nescafe or something?
