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.
Great stuff, but is "sambar" the same as samBAL (shrimp paste)? I'm not sure what you meant by "soup".
