Filter coffee/filter kapi


Filter coffee/kapi is the most important beverage in south indian homes.The first drink we have in the morning is kapi(coffee).Unlike coffee in rest of the world south indian coffee is milky and sweet.
My mother used to make the perfect filter coffee and my fahter's friends used to come to our house especially for the coffee that she makes.she used to buy the coffee seeds,roast and grind and brew fresh decoction.
Of course i do not take so much trouble i buy the roast and ground powder without much of chicory and brew the decoction.



Ingredients
  • Four Heaped tbs of Coffee powder                
  • 200Ml of 3% fat Milk                               
  • Sugar  To taste
  • Boiling water  For the filter
Method

1.Boil water.
2.Fill up coffee powder in the filter
3.Press it lightly and pour the boiling water into it.
4.Wait for 20 minutes till the decoction gets collected in the lower comparment of the filter and boil the milk till frothy.
5.once the milk boils take 11/2tsp of sugar in the tumbler pour some decoction and add the milk.you can adjust the quantity according to your taste whether you want it light or strong.
6.you mix it well by pouring it into the cup(dawara)to form the lather and enjoy the coffee.

That looks delicious. I would use Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee in that. I didn't realize that Indian coffee tended to be more milky and sweet than the usual.
