While growing up, the means were limited for many, and people would find joy in small things. Sitting together with the family and drinking coffee was also an experience, and I still remember the time spent with my cousins, uncles, and aunts. In winter, drinking beaten coffee was a tradition in my family and many other Indian families. When everyone gathered at my nani’s home, my Maami would bring a large mug with instant coffee powder, sugar, and water. We all took turns beating this mixture using a fork or a spoon until it was almost like whipped cream. This whipped mixture was then mixed with hot milk, and the most delicious cup of coffee was made. Come winter, I start to crave this coffee, but there are no cousins around to whip it with me. So, I devised a hack that allows you to make the same coffee in a few minutes without any muscle work. I am sure the coffee would taste much better with family around but until then, try this recipe, you will be transported back to your childhood.
About Beaten Coffee
Beaten Coffee, also known as Indian-style Cappuccino, is a delicious cup of frothy coffee made in North Indian homes without any elaborate preparation. You can find this coffee on the menu of marriage ceremonies and in Indian-style cafes. It’s called beaten coffee because the process involves beating the coffee and sugar mixture to incorporate air. When warm milk is added to this frothy coffee mixture, it releases air, making a thick froth on the cup.
