Desi Cappuccino

I was never much of a caffeine addict, but an Emirates flight changed everything. I was very excited about the trip and the opportunity to fly with Emirates and stopover in Dubai. I had heard great things about Emirates, but little did I expect to see chicken served in a Vegan meal. I let that go, and then I noticed that the breakfast that they served consisted of 3 vegetable entrées – Rajma, some kind of a kurma, and badly made peas.

After the second meal, I decided to stick to croissants and coffee for the rest of the journey, and I followed the same rule on the return trip as well. Though the Emirates experience was awful in more ways than one, the one thing that I learned was to appreciate coffee which led me to learn how to make Cappuccino the desi-way to feed my caffeine cravings. So for all you coffee lovers, here’s my recipe for Desi Cappuccino!
