- Using a whisk, start whipping the coffee mixture. Whisk vigorously for at least 15 minutes. As you continue, you will notice the coffee thickening and its color changing from a dark brown to a lighter, creamy hue.
- While the coffee mixture is being whisked, take a saucepan and heat the milk on the stove. Heat until itβs steaming, but be careful not to let it boil.
- Once the milk is heated, carefully pour it into the thickened coffee mixture. Stir well to combine, allowing the milk and coffee to fully blend together into a smooth, creamy espresso.
- To garnish, lightly dust the top of your coffee with some cocoa powder, adding a beautiful finishing touch and a slight cocoa flavor to balance the sweetness.
- Serve the Punjabi Style Espresso Coffee with a side of Ghee Roast Dosa, Coconut Chutney, and Mixed Vegetable Sambar for a complete and satisfying Indian breakfast experience.
