Masala Loca @ Emerging Artists Showcase

Last week, Sabra and I served some of our Masala Loca tacos at a party celebrating The Emerging Artist Program. The program is a collaboration between The L Magazine, Bumble and bumble and NADA (New Art Dealers Alliance) and showcases emerging artists in NY.

Me and Sabes getting our food ready.

We made shahi paneer tacos topped with gaucamole and crema of homemade yogurt and sour cream.

The event was held at a Bumble and bumble hair salon and explains why we were keeping some of our cold items cool in a hair sink:

We served food on the terrace of the salon which had really nice views.

And some of our friends from the Greenpoint Food Market were there too which was fun.

Anita of Electric Blue Baking Co. made little vegan pizzas:

And Clara and Dan of empandas idpm! served up two kinds of empanadas:

We had such a good time cooking for this event. Thanks to The L Magazine for having us.

Masala Loca in the New York Times!

The New York Times did an article on local food markets and they mentioned Masala Loca as one of the vendors at the Greenpoint Food Market "Worth Tasting." It was already such a great experience for me and Sabra to sell at the market, but it's definitely nice to hear that people enjoyed our food and recommend us:) The next GFM is June 26th and we will be there. Come out!

Greenpoint Food Market

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!
