The other day I was watching a Bengali movie Anuranan (Resonance) , I was watching because it was the directorial debut movie of Aniruddha (who was the director of movie Antaheen , which i had liked) and movie had Rahul Bose in it ( I like him too). So in the movie Rajat Kapoor asks for Beaten Coffee and there is a scene where Rituparna Sengupta makes it. This is my first introduction to Beaten Coffee. The movie was good with an interesting thought . Once it was over the next thing I did was google for beaten coffee :)
Beaten Coffee: This is a foamy , frothy , hand beaten (yes you need to use your muscle , trust me I did :) ) coffee. I followed a recipe in a blog to make it (http://mybutterhalf.com/?p=672)
