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 tight-knit 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 part-time food business, Swetha and Venkat still work 9-to-5 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 brick-and-mortar restaurant one day.
