# Perfect Indian Coffee Recipe at Mom’s Dosa, Cloverdale

## Introduction/Description
Welcome to Mom’s Dosa in Cloverdale! While we’re known for our delicious Indian dishes and crispy dosas, we also love offering the perfect cup of Indian coffee to accompany your meal. This rich and creamy beverage has a unique flavor profile that combines the boldness of coffee with the sweetness of milk and sugar, reflective of traditional South Indian coffee styles. Follow this simple recipe to bring the warmth and comfort of Indian coffee into your home!

## Ingredients List
– 2 tablespoons of dark roasted coffee powder (preferably South Indian filter coffee)
– 1 cup of water
– 1/2 cup of milk (whole milk for creaminess)
– 2 tablespoons of sugar (adjust to taste)
– Optional: a pinch of cardamom powder for extra flavor

## Instructions/Steps
1. **Boil the Water**: In a small pot, bring the water to a rolling boil. This is the base for your Indian coffee.

2. **Add Coffee**: Once boiling, add the coffee powder to the water. Stir well and allow it to brew for about 3-4 minutes. You’ll notice a rich aroma filling your kitchen!

3. **Strain the Brew**: After brewing, strain the coffee mixture into a separate pot or jug using a fine sieve or coffee filter to catch the grounds.

4. **Heat the Milk**: In a small saucepan, heat the milk until it’s hot but not boiling. You want it warmed through to blend perfectly with the coffee.

5. **Combine**: In a large cup or jug, mix the brewed coffee with the hot milk. Stir well to combine.

6. **Sweeten**: Add sugar to taste, stirring until it dissolves. If you’d like to enhance the flavor, sprinkle in a pinch of cardamom powder.

7. **Froth (Optional)**: To give your coffee a traditional touch, use a frother or a small whisk to aerate the milk slightly before pouring it into your cup.

8. **Serve**: Pour the coffee into your favorite mug, and enjoy your homemade Indian coffee. Perfect to sip alongside a dosa from Mom’s Dosa!
