"Kayam" A Special Recipe for a Special Occasion!

Sri Krishna Jayanthi / Janmashtami Greetings to all. Though for a majority of India, its a month late, some parts of India, that goes by solar calendar,  is celebrating Sri Krishna Janmashtami on 8th September 2012.  In Manipal, the city where I am living currently is also celebrating this festival in a grand manner this week along with its twin city, the Temple Town,  Udupi.

Upper cup is like a filter(with pierced base) for filtering out the brewed coffee. The upper cup usually comes with a lid and 2. Bottom cup to collect the decoction(brewed coffee) Today i will show you how to make Indian filter coffee. I have used a tradit
