Neer Dosa - Neer meaning water in kannada, this dosa gets its name, since the batter prepared for this dosa is very watery. Dosa prepared is thin and light. This is a popular daskina kannada dish. I liked the combination of neer dosa with coconut chutney for breakfast.Ingredients
2 cups - Raw rice , soaked overnight
1/2 cup - Freshly grated coconut
3 cups - Water
Salt to taste
Method
1 ) Soak raw rice overnight in enough water. Drain out the water. Grind rice with coconut to a smooth paste with water in small batches, using up 3 cups of water. Batter should be very thin and watery. Add salt to taste.
2 ) Heat a non- stick flat griddle or tawa on a moderate heat. Wipe clean the inside of the pan with cloth dipped in oil. When the Tawa is hot, pour batter and spread around the tawa to make a thin dosa. Since the batter is watery,you will not be able to spread batter like you can with regular dosa batter.
3 ) Lower the heat, cover with a lid and cook till the dosa is cooked. Then fold the dosa in half and again half. Take off the stove and transfer to a serving plate.Use rest of the batter to make neer dosa in similar way.
Serve for breakfast with chutney or have for dinner with any non- vegetarian curry.

We too made this some time back..though it wasnt as perfect as yours in appearance..i suppose practice is reqd to get the shape
Pravs, the neer dose looks perfect! Kids have it with honey. It tastes too good...we use coconut oil for more flavor!
At native place, I even saw an aunt dry the left over neer dose, when dried, it becomes hard, then its broken in pcs, deep fried n savoured wt rice during a meal! Interesting isn't it? :D
Easycrafts : hi there :) I am sure you can get it perfect with couple of trials :)
Purnima :Thanks Purn :) I have not tried with honey.. got to do that. I think if neer dosa is filled with jaggery / sugar and coconut mixed together will be a great tasting snack. Interesting info about drying and frying it.
Wow i love this, a dosa without urid dal.
And no fermentation needed.
Can i make this with rice flour instead of grinding the rice
Happy cook : Hi there..you won't believe this.. i just thought of you and got your comment just then :) I don't think making with rice flour will come out as good as grinding the rice.
Heard a lot about it :) looks perfect :)

dosa looks yum, but the texture & color of that chutney is just amazing!!! is the color all due to red chili?
