Today we have so many different kinds and types of Coffee. In India Coffee was more a drink in the South of India and North was more dominated by the good old Indian Chai. But this habit has also been affected by the Globalisation. Now-a-days you can find Coffee Baristas everywhere, especially in the Metro Cities.
If I am right, Chai is the drink which an Indian mostly relishes but Coffee is the in thing to be.
Anyways, while I was growing up we used to have Coffee once in a while, cold Coffees for Summer and hot, Indian style hand made "Ghoti hoi Coffee" for winter days and mostly at the times of one day Cricket matches. Those used to be fun days. We used to all watch Cricket matches and the Coffee bowl used to be passed down from person to person to beat. What is Ghoti hoi Coffee, Ghotna (घो ट ना) means to beat.
This Coffee is made when the instant Coffee powder is mixed with sugar and about 1/4 tsp of warm water and is beated until you get a mixture in Toffee colour and it looks frothy a very cappuccino style look.
So here is what you will need for two people.
