Filter coffee

Recipe: Filter Coffee

Prep & Cooking Time: 20 mins
Serves: 2 People
Makes: Around 250 ml
Cooking Level: Beginners/Easy

What you need:
Fresh coffee powder which is specially grounded for filter. While grinding you have to mention that it is for filter and not coffee maker. Both are different in texture. Go for pure coffee (Peaberry) and don’t add chicory. I stick to Coffee Day brand. Each brand is good in its own way.

Ingredients:
2 tbsp Fresh Coffee Powder (specially ground for filter coffee)
200 ml Fresh milk
80 ml Boiling Water
Sugar white/brown sugar cubes, as per taste

Special Utensil:
Coffee Filter

Preparation

• For two people (around 250 ml), spread 2 tbsp of coffee powder on the top cup with porous bottom and gently press it with the sieve press. Don’t over do. Remove the press.
• Boil the water
• Take 80 ml boiled water in a glass and pour it evenly and gently on the powder.
• Close the lid.
• After 5 minutes, check the filter. If you can see only the residue, decoction is ready at the bottom.
• Take 200 ml fresh milk and boil it till they start raising.
• In a dabarah (stainless steel cup) pour the milk. Add the coffee decoction to it. Finally add the sugar. Pour it back and forth (from dabarah to tumbler) till it is frothy. Traditionally it is being served in dabarah and tumbler. But now the porcelein cups are very handy ofcourse. Serve it hot with any snacks. Nothing can beat the real taste of filter coffee.

Durga, in Sanskrit means "She who is incomprehensible or difficult to reach." Goddess Durga is a form of Shakti worshiped for her gracious as well as terrifying aspect. Mother of the Universe, she represents the infinite power of the universe and is a symbol of a female dynamism. The manifestation of Goddess Durga is said to emerge from Her formless essence and the two are inseparable.

She is also called by many other names, such as Parvati, Ambika, and Kali. In the form of Parvati, She is known as the divine spouse of Lord Shiva and is the mother of Her two sons, Ganesha and Karttikeya, and daughter Jyoti. Destroyer of demons, she is worshiped during an annual festival called Durga puja, especially popular among Bengalis.

Goddess Durga exists eternally, always abiding in her own sweet nature and inhabits the hearts and minds of her ecstatic devotees. As Shakti power, she shapes, nurtures, and dissolves names and forms, while as subtle spiritual energy called Kundalini, She lights the lotuses fo the seven centres of awareness in the sacred human body. Goddess Durga killed the powerful demon Mahish and all his great commanders. When demonic forces create imbalance all god unite becoming one divine force called Shakti or Durga.
