Just about every culinary culture has pancakes. You know that chain pancake place over by the highway? They claim to be 'International', but they only offer us French Toast and Belgian Waffles. What other international delights are they keeping from us?

Dosas are thin crepes from southern India, typically made with fermented rice and gram batter. They're served with a variety of delicious fillings and toppings.

Dosas are often huge: they're cooked as large circles well over a foot, and then served in an hollow roll. The 'filling' is often a serving of a stewed dish, but the dosa is not wrapped tightly around the filling, and the filling does not actually 'fill' the dosa. There's a lot of space in there.

Dosa can be made with any type of base, and are served with many fillings.
