This past Saturday, Sabra and I sold Indian tacos at the Greenpoint Food Market under our new name – Masala Loca. It was my first time selling at a market and it was really exciting. We made 200 tacos and sold out!
The market happens every month with about 50 vendors selling all sorts of foods – baked goods, empanadas, spreads, homemade soda, kimchi, etc. This is what it looked like:
We made two tacos in corn tortillas:
shahi paneer
gaucamole
crema made from yogurt and sour cream
black bean masala curry
mint chutney
cotija cheese
Sabra made this cutest Masala Loca sign:
I was really happy to see people enjoying our tacos. It was a lot of work to get everything cooked and set up, but we had so much fun. We will definitely be at the next one in June. Look for us!
Thanks Sheng for taking photos!

Hi Amy! I remember you. We jazzercized one summer in Michigan:) Thanks for sending. I added a post on it here. Hope you are well.
I love the idea of Indian-Mexican fusion tacos! Wish I lived in Brooklyn where such cool concepts can be found.
