i thought it would be interesting to find a plausible reason out why DOSA, was so changed to thosai, in south east asia.... and here it is...
"In any case, when I first visited Malaysia, I asked around for dosa. Since there are many Tamils in Malaysia, I was sure it was available. But you see, dosa in Bahasa Malaysia means sin, so I didn't get very far asking for it... Maybe for this reason as much as for any other, dosa is transliterated in Malaysia as thosai or tosai.

bottom line..... ITS DOSA!
