strange bread and khatta daal = dosa & sambar ?
works best as a light breakfast for me... but there is waay more to south Indian food than the ubiquitous idli, sambar and dosa , you might find beef fry and parotta to be more to your liking.
or some andhra prawn fry
or malabar style mutton
and if you're not too anal about imaginary sky daddy rules etc, I'd highly recommend the Goan pork vindaloo
goes best with plain steamed/boiled rice.
in fact, even the humble daal/chaawal is pretty good
all it needs is a side of tandoori chicken or tikka to complete it.
