This one is classic, staple food of Udupi – Mangalore. Neer dosa or neer dose is very thin, light pan cake made using rice batter. Be it breakfast or dinner we all love this dosa to the core. You never satisfy eating only 2 or 3 dosa because they aren’t filling. You can easily eat more.
Neer dosa needs only 3 ingredients. Rice, coconut and salt. That’s it. Rice is soaked for 3 to 4 hours. You can even soak overnight. Then ground with coconut and water to a thin, watery batter. It should be of pouring consistency.
Pouring neer dosa over griddle is also tricky. Because unlike normal dosa, you need to spill it all over the griddle. The flame need to be medium high and neer dosa gets cooked fast. The lacy textured, thin dosa is loosened along the edges and removed. No need to cook the other side. EASY!!
It tastes too delicious with coconut plus jaggery mixture. Coconut chutney, mango rasayana can also be served as side dishes. Plenty of options to relish neer dosa. Just give a try.
