How to make Beaten Coffee (Indian Style Cappuccino Coffee)

Indian Style Cappuccino is more of a homely attempt to make a warm cup of basic coffee with lots of foam on top just like the one you get in a fancy coffee shop or in Indian marriages. Here is how to make beaten coffee recipe or Indian cappuccino coffee at home.

The thing about coffee is that it has to be like perfect! A sip of coffee and you realize whether it is awesomely made or not, right? Being a big time coffee fan, I tend to drink coffee often times during any week and it definitely revitalises me for ideating better recipes, for thinking more creatively.

Hence, I can never compromise on the kind of coffee that I drink. Though I prefer having my coffee piping hot, sometimes, for a change, its chilled variations like Vietnamese Iced Coffee, Nutella Iced Coffee also suffice and my family loves having them as well.

But, with winter at its full swing, a cup of hot coffee is what is keeping me going. And today, I made Indian Beaten Coffee with milk and here is how to make Coffee at home.

What is Beaten Coffee?

Beaten Coffee or Indian Style Cappuccino Coffee is more of a homely attempt to make a warm cup of basic coffee with milk without any elaborate preparation or over the top garnishing.

Also called as Soft Coffee, hand beaten Indian Cappucciono, Indian Coffee, Pakistani Coffee, Desi Coffee or Whipped Coffee, the beauty of this beverage lies in the fact that it is made using just a small hack that completely changes the way homemade Cappuccino tastes.

Which coffee to use for making Indian Beaten Coffee?

Use only Instant Coffee Powder to make this style of coffee. Ground coffee will not work in this recipe. 

Indian Instant Coffee Powders like Bru or Nescafe makes the best beaten coffee. You can either get them at your local Indian store or order online.

How to beat coffee?

I remember taking turns beating the coffee powder and sugar mixture using a fork as it is quite an intensive process and not one person can beat it vigorously for such long time until it reaches the desired consistency.

But the die hard fan that I am of the this Indian coffee, I figured out a hack and now my coffee is ready in no time without much of an effort. Yes, I use my hand blender to beat my coffee mixture and all it takes is 5 minutes for it to reach the perfect light and foamy consistency and the taste is just perfect.

Next time whenever you are making this Indian Style Cappuccino Coffee, use your hand blender and thank me later :).

Do not use an immersion blender to whisk the coffee.

Can we store beaten coffee?

Once you whisk the coffee until it is light and fluffy, you can transfer it in an airtight container and refrigerate for upto 7 days. 

This whisked coffee cannot be freezed though.

How to make Indian Cappuccino Coffee?

For making Indian coffee, firstly the instant coffee powder is nicely beaten with sugar and water until it is fluffy and light. 

Once the coffee is beaten, all you have to do add hot milk to a few tbsp of beaten coffee. You can make this coffee using all milk or part milk and part water if you don’t like too milky taste.

I always add 2-3 tbsp milk in the coffee mixture and mix the two well. Then top the cup with remaining milk. This makes the mixing part easier.

If you like flavoured coffee, you can add cinnamon powder, nutmeg powder, pumpkin spice powder or any other spice mix of your choice.

How to make beaten cold coffee?

Add cold milk instead of hot milk to the beaten coffee and make beaten cold coffee. You can also a few ice cubes in cold coffee.
