This month we celebrated 5Th year anniversary of Jab We Met…. yeah! we met 5 years back as strangers over a cup of Cappuccino. That’s what we ordered and spent some time talking and knowing each other. Coincidentally he was wearing shirt of my favourite color, and being fan of “Dil To Pagal Hai” I thought its a sign from above (ya! those days) and that color is everywhere in our home now.
We met as Strangers, Started as a Couple and now “Three” is a company.
On our Fifth Anniversary of Jab We Met I made Cappuccino (Tried ya, at home without Machine) just to relive our first meeting all over again.
I tried it for the first time ( we both are Tea Lovers – Adrak Ki Chai) and it comes out fairly good. But today I want to share much delayed recipe for-
