Kaapi Konfusion

I put in three heaped spoons of kaapi podi
I press down the powder with the bottom of a tumbler
I put in the kodai on top of the podi
I pour in the amount of boiling water that my mum specifies
But somehow...

I keep messing up the filter coffee 'degaucktion'!!!

Is it the end of the world??

Any advice? :)

ha.

what has this world come too, if i hav e to give you advice on cooking?

anyway, best thing to do. find a maami in US and become friends with her
and then get your coffee from them.

best way

ram:

yes that could have been a possibility but for want of utilising the good old filter contraption... ;)

divs:

the whole point is for me to learn how to make it di! so when my mum asks me to make it, i cant say oh why dont you make it yourself! ;)hehe...actually that gives me an idea..next time my mum asks me to, i can ask my dad to make it!!! :D

tsb:

awww tsb just eb patient da..maybe you are waiting at the wrong gate or something..try the east gate next time or something! and maybe hold flowers behind your ear ;) !!!

ANU!!! ROFL... East gate with flower behind ears! What a site... n tsb, wear a veshti, n thundu!
or better, tsb can become the sastrigal so he will have the opportunity to personally check out every maami that comes for darisanam!
when he's givin the vibuthi and kumkumam, he can say 'kaapi poda theriyuma maami? yenakku konjam soli tharela?...swaahaa"!!!!! LOL...
