How This Nyc Dosa Pop-up Brings In $15k/month | On The Side

Husband and wife team Swetha and Venkat Raju started a South Indian dosa pop-up in Brooklyn, New York while juggling full-time jobs and parenting. What began as cooking for neighbors turned into a thriving weekend pop-up stand. Brooklyn Curry Project recently had to close its stand in Fort Greene because the crowds became too large for the area. Now the couple operates out of a commercial kitchen in Downtown Brooklyn.
