How to Make Desi Espresso aka Beaten Coffee

• Take coffee powder in a cup or bowl.
• Add adequate sugar.
• Pour 1/2 teaspoon water into it and start beating.
• When you see it becoming thick, add a few drops of water and continue beating.
• Make sure you don't add lots of water at once.
• Keep adding water little by little and continue beating till it turns fluffy.
• When the volume of coffee increases by a factor of three and the mix turns a few shades lighter, you can consider it done.
• Scoop out a spoon or more of this mix and place in a cup.
• Boil the milk with water and pour into the cup.
• You can see the mix floating atop the cup.
• Gently stir it with the spoon.
• Sprinkle some cocoa powder or shaved chocolate for an extra flavour.
• Serve hot and enjoy the frothy coffee.
