Kulfi is more like a creamsicle, yes. A very creamy creamsicle.

Masala Dosa is a a vegetarian curried crepe - potatoes, carrots and peas (likliest combo found as filling). It is served with two side dishes: a cup of spicy (though the heat varies) "soup" called sambar and a cup of coconut sauce. I'm not real fond of the former as a soup, but it makes a great dipping sauce.

"Chai" is also the hindustani word for "tea" in general (I had thought) so was trying to specify the milky mixture.

One can have "genuine" Indian non-veg cuisine! Moslems eat beef and Christian Goans eat pork. Or does "authentic" Indian cuisine = Hindu only?
