Brooklyn Curry Project

7.3/10Indian

AI-generated summary

Get the . People who grew up eating Karnataka style say it tastes like home. The thatte idli is the other pick and some regulars prefer it, since almost nobody else in the city makes them. It runs as a stall at the Fort Greene farmers market, and a few people say the is a bit Americanized.

    “the thatte idli at Brooklyn Curry Project are great (and it's the only place that makes them). Their dosa is not my favorite, but still good.”

    replying to u/applesandcherry: As a South Indian, I concur. I will admit that the best dosa I've ever had other than my mom's has been in Jackson Heights, but after seeing Indian food get dragged for years for being "dirty" or "smelly" it's so amazing to see it being celebrated like this. Semma is good, and I'd love to go again to see if it changed after everything but I doubt I'll get a seat anytime soon lol.

    “The second best i’ve eaten in the city is Brooklyn Curry Project.”

    replying to u/bharadwajh: FYI - there are different types of dosa in India. Primary states in contention are Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. Dosas origin is supposed to be Karnataka (Udupi) but Tamil dosas are more popular worldwide. The dosas in Karnataka are thicker, but crisp and golden on the outside. They are typically eaten with just a chutney and no Sambar / Curry. The dosa is the main dish. The dosas in Tamil Nadu are thinner, crispier and serve as a vehicle for the Sambar / Curry which has more weight. The dosas in New York including in Semma are from Tamil Nadu. The closest Karnataka style dosa I have seen is in MTR in Seattle (Brooklyn curry project does not cut it unfortunately - it’s somewhat Americanized and the pan they use is not commercial grade)

    “I think Brooklyn Curry Project's is a perfect Karnataka dosa, honestly. I think they do some fun innovative stuff for their pop ups, but they taste just like what I ate growing up.”
