Instructions

  1. Prepare the Coffee Base:
    Begin by taking a large mug and add the instant coffee powder, sugar, and a small amount of water to it. Start whisking the mixture continuously. Keep whisking for at least 15 minutes. As you do this, the coffee will thicken and its color will change, transforming into a rich, creamy consistency.

  2. Heat the Milk:
    In a saucepan, heat the milk on medium heat until it is warm but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the pan.

  3. Combine the Coffee and Milk:
    Once the milk is ready, carefully pour it into the mug with the coffee mixture. Stir everything well to ensure the milk blends perfectly with the whipped coffee base.

  4. Garnish and Serve:
    Sprinkle a pinch of cocoa powder on top of the coffee for an extra layer of flavor and a beautiful presentation. Your Punjabi Style Espresso Coffee is now ready to be enjoyed!

  5. Serving Suggestion:
    This rich espresso coffee pairs wonderfully with a traditional Indian breakfast. Serve it alongside Ghee Roast Dosa, Coconut Chutney, and Mixed Vegetable Sambar for a delightful and fulfilling morning meal.

Enjoy the bold flavors of this Punjabi-style coffee that’s perfect for a cozy breakfast or as a treat on any day when you want to elevate your coffee experience!
