Every Saturday morning, rain or shine, Swetha and Venkat Raju set up a small food tent on the corner of Fort Greene Park in Brooklyn. And, without fail, a line forms way before the husband and wife duo has even fired up the hot plates. People from far and wide are hooked on Swetha’s dosas, a South Indian breakfast food that has become the star of Swetha and Venkat’s food business, Brooklyn Curry Project. Over the years, the couple has built a tightknit community of customers turned friends — exactly what they were first looking for when they moved from Bangalore, India, to Brooklyn just a handful of years ago. In addition to managing a parttime food business, Swetha and Venkat still work 9to5 jobs and are parents to two kids. Follow along as Swetha flexes her creative prowess with themed dinner popups and the family works toward its goal of opening a brickandmortar restaurant one day.
