title_body: How to make thick, Indian style coffee without using instant coffee?
upvoted_answer: Just like you described it. Add water a little by little, then took a spoon and swirl it. Then repeat, maintaining a thick paste, it will start to have a creamy colour. The most important thing is DON'T ADD TOO MUCH WATER until the paste is ready (you will know when), then it's ready to fill your cup with water and drink it (it will have a lot of cream, basically created by swirling and aeration).
  
  Just try it and then repeat next time if it doesn't go as you want to.
