Recipe

Place the filter coffee powder into the upper chamber of the traditional brass metal coffee filter.

Pour boiling water evenly over the coffee powder and cover with the lid, allowing the strong decoction to drip slowly for about 10 to 15 minutes.

In a separate pan, heat the full-fat milk until it comes to a gentle boil, then add sugar and mix well.

Pour a desired amount of the freshly brewed coffee decoction into the traditional dabarah tumbler.

Add the hot sweetened milk and vigorously pour the mixture back and forth between the tumbler and dabarah a few times to create a rich, frothy layer on top.

Serve piping hot immediately alongside crisp butter biscuits for a classic South Indian experience.
