Traditional Madras filter coffee requires the use of specific fresh-roasted coffee beans and chicory roots, which are not always available outside India. This recipe uses Indian instant coffee that has chicory in it, which is available in some Indian stores and supermarkets. Nestle Bru instant coffee has 30% chicory added and in general has a near enough taste to authentic Madras filter coffee.
