A tasty breakfast from Karnataka, Neer Dosa, gets its name from the watery batter that is used to prepare this dish.[Neer in kannada means Watery]. This dosa is soft and very delicious.The highlight of this dosa is that it needs no fermentation. Just soak and grind rice and the batter is ready to be used!!!
I used:
Raw rice -2 cups
Grated coconut- 2 tablespoons
Salt to taste
- Soak rice for around 3 hours.
- Wash the rice and grind to a smooth paste with the salt and coconut. The batter should be watery.
- Remove the batter into a vessel.
- Heat a griddle and sprinkle a little water on it.If it sizzles, the griddle is ready.
- Pout a ladle full of batter on the griddle and swirl the griddle so that the batter spreads. [So not spread with a ladle.].There should be plenty of small holes in the dosa.
- Cover and cook for a couple of minutes.
- Fold into half and again fold to a triangle.
- Remove from griddle and serve hot with a chutney of your choice
Note :
- The batter has to be really very thin,somewhat similar to buttermilk consistency.
- Some recipes say coconut is optional but it tastes excellent when coconut is added when the batter is being ground.
- Do not pile the dosa one over the other before serving. They will stick together. So let the dosa go straight to the serving plate from the griddle.
