More than Corana, Dalgona is viral today in Social Media. Just like how sometime back, our 'Milagu Manjal Pal' or ' Haldi Doodh' got fancy as 'Turmeric Latte', this India Style Cappuccino also knows as Phenti/Phitti Hui Coffee that is famous in India and Pakistan got fancier under the pseudo-name 'Dalgona Coffee'!!
While down South in India, we are content that nothing can beat our filter coffee (And still nothing does!), most of our North Indian Counterparts have been making this coffee for years and its also called beaten coffee as the coffee and sugar is beaten well to make it frothy. They add milk to the beaten coffee, while in this fancy named Dalgona Coffee, the creamy froth is added on top to make it Social Media Picture worthy!
Being a coffee person, I wanted to try it out and see if it was coffee shop worthy. Yes it is! But I would settle for my filter coffee any given day!!
Dalgona Coffee: (Makes 2)
What you need:
2 Tbsp Instant Coffee or Coffee Dicotion from Filter Coffee
2 Tbsp Sugar
2 Tbsp Hot Water
1 1/2 Cup Cold/Hot Milk

Dalgona Coffee: (Makes 2)
What you need:

2 Tbsp Sugar
2 Tbsp Hot Water
1 1/2 Cup Cold/Hot Milk
What you do:
- Whisk or beat the instant coffee, sugar and hot water till creamy and frothy. The consistency is that the cream should not fall of your spoon when scooped. (Its quite a task with a hand whisk, an electric hand blender sure saves time and effort!)
- Take two glasses, pour 3/4 cup of milk in each and scoop the cream on both glasses or you can even pipe it with a piping bag.
- Just sprinkle some instant coffee powder for decoration.
- You can swirl this with a spoon and have it as you wish!
If you are making for just 1, you can store the cream and use it for coffees later. Just one spoon of the cream with your usual glass of milk with sugar still gives you normal instant coffee. The Dalgona Coffee as its called now is aromatic, bitter and so intense in it is coffee flavour and conversations can happen over this coffee as its a sip and drink slow coffee and definitely lives up to its tag of coffee shop coffee!
I did not have any plain glasses at home to show you the white milk and brown coffee layer and had to make good with my coffee mug, so I had to flick a photo from my cousin who had also made it! 😜
