dosa

A very thin, crisp pancake made of finely ground lentils. Think crispy, lightweight, savory crepe.

Often served with chutney, spiced vegetables, and a type of tomato-and-tamarind-based soup.

Dosas are vegetarian.

Let's go to that dosa place for lunch!

When a dosa has a savory filling, it's called a masala dosa.

Super Dollfie

A line of classy 22"-tall ball-jointed resin "doll figures" made by Volks in Japan. Come in versions made either to resemble ten-year-olds or thirteen-year-olds.

Some SDs can be prohibitively expensive.

If you're addicted to SDs, stay off Yahoo! Japan.
