Soft And Crispy Neer Dosa South Indian Recipe

Neer Dosa is a mangalorian dish made from rice. The word 'neer' means water in Tulu (Mangalorian Language). It is known as so because the batter is watery. You can have this with green chutney, tomato chutney, sambhar, non veg curry or with the mixer of jaggery and grated coconut.

Neer Dosa is different from common dosa, because it doesn't contain urad daal and there's no requirement to ferment the batter. This dosa is quite thin, light, delicate and mouth watering therefore you will need plenty of them to fill up your stomach.

Usually it is prepared in cast iron skillet as it tastes good. But it’s difficult to make in these skillet as it requires good experience. So you can use non stick pan.

As I belong to Mangalore (Karnataka) it's very common at our house. But still there are lots of people who don't know to make this dish. So I thought of sharing this dish with all of you.

Ingredient

Rice - 1 1/2 Cup
Salt as per taste
Water

Instruction

 Soak the rice in water for 5 to 6 hours. After 6 hours drain the water and put the rice in the mixer along with 1 cup of water. Grind the rice into very thin batter. If the batter is thick add 1 more cup of water and grind again. 

 

Remove the batter in a bowl. Add salt and 2 to 3 cup of water to the batter and mix well. The consistency of batter should be like milk.

Heat a pan and apply a non stick spray or can even brush oil on the pan. We normally cut onion, dip it in the oil and grease the pan. As this enhances the taste of dosa as well as it keeps the dosa from sticking to the pan. The pan should be very hot so keep the flame on high.

 

With a ladle pour the batter on the pan and twist the pan in circular motion so that the batter spread all over the pan. Cover the pan with lid and wait for 1 min. 

 

Now with the help of spatula fold the dosa and remove it on a plate. Or you can even turn the pan directly on the plate and wait of 20 seconds and fold it in triangular shape. It should be cooked only from one side.

Repeat the same procedure with remaining batter.

Neer dosa is ready to serve.

Serve with green chutney, tomato chutney, sambhar or with the mixer of jaggery and grated coconut.
