Food from Southern India

On my way home from school (at 6PM on a Saturday, mind you) I decided I deserved food.
The decision to eat is most life-affirming.
And so, I stopped at a restaurant called Madras Pavilion, South Indian Vegetarian Cuisine. I had never, up until this point, eaten South Indian Vegetarian Cuisine, and the menu certainly reaffirmed this fact. The dinner special read "Pavilion Special: Choice of Iddly Vadai or Pongal Vadi and Dasai or Uthappam..."
Yes. Lost.
Apparently the above words represented food, and so, I finally settled on something called Dasai. The menu claimed it was a rice and lentil crepe. But, upon receiving my food, I discovered that the "rice and lentil crepe" was actually rice crust, the crunchy leftover layer Chinese children scrape off the bottom of a wok after making fried rice. I paid $7.03 to eat an entire plate of crispy rice.

And I would do it again.
