NEER DOSA



  Neer dosa is a light, soft, lacey and delicious dosas from Karnataka. The beauty in the preparation of Neer Dosa is its simplicity in the use of ingredients, which is mainly rice and can be quickly made. It is almost like making instant dosas, as they require no fermentation. So, you can have it whenever you are in a mood for it. This is a dish made out of rice and is unique to the region of South Karnataka and Udipi District. Neer dosa is a very popular breakfast fare, which literally means ‘water crepe’ since the batter is of flowing watery consistency. Today I am sharing the recipe which is shared by dear friend Manish, who is very fond of cooking and can say very well connected with South Indian Food. His love for neer dosa, appams, idiappams, etc made me excited. So tried his recipe and it came out superb. I am happy with my first trial. Infact he is also happy and impressed with my first make. So dedicate this recipe to Manish…thank u for the recipe. When you want to make dosa during winters when fermentation is an issue, this recipe of Neer Dosa works really well. He suggested me to serve it with Manglorean Kori and I must say it goes well with it. The texture is smooth and very soft, it melts in your mouth. Even kids enjoy this Neer Dosa. They look like these cute folded lace handkerchiefs. So here is my Neer Dosa recipe served with Kori chicken Gravy.

2 Cups Rice-soaked for 2 hours
2 tablespoon Grated Coconut
2 tablespoon Leftover Rice
