Neer Dosa, a popular and commonly made dosa variety in Karnataka, especially in Tulu, Udipi and some parts of Mangalore. As the name suggests “Neer” means Water. The batter of this Neer dosa is in watery consistency. Also unlike the conventional dosa where we use both idli rice along with urad dal, this dosa we use only raw rice without any dals. This dosa batter doesn’t need fermentation process too. Once the rice is soaked for 6 hours or overnight, we can grind the batter with grated coconut and then we can immediately start making dosa. These dosas are very soft and thin, rich with flavor of coconut. Relish this Neer Dosa with chutney/sambar or Idli Podi! We can serve this delicious dosa for breakfast or dinner or an after school snack for kids!
