Filter Coffee
A traditional preparation from Kerala that balances flavour, texture, and aroma in the way that only home cooking can. No two households make it exactly the same, and that is the point.
Ingredientsfor 6 servings
- 20 g Filter coffee powder
- 250 ml Water
- 6 tbsp Sugar
- 250 ml Milk
Preparation
Step 1
Heat 3 cups/250ml of water in a bowl.
Step 2
Add 6 tbsp of sugar to that.
Step 3
Keep 3 spoons of filter coffee powder in another bowl by side.
Step 4
Pour the boiling water sugar solution to the coffee powder and close the container with a lid.
Step 5
This is called coffee dicoction.
Step 6
Stir the dicoction with a spoon and again so that it gets mixed well and close the lid.
Step 7
Let the dicoction settle down for 5 - 10 minutes.
Step 8
Filter it out to another glass, leaving behind the coffee powder.
Step 9
Mix the filter coffee dicoction with as much milk needed and serve.
Step 10
Usually, 1 cup milk needs 1 cup filter dicoction. It tastes just like filter coffee or bru coffee.
Tip
Do not rush the onion and shallot frying. The difference between pale onions and properly browned onions is the difference between a flat dish and a flavourful one.
