Neer dosa

 Neer dosa is a simplest form of soft dosa and tastes so good with coconut chutney.

Ingredients:

Raw rice - 1 cup.

Salt - as required

Water- 2 cups

Method:

  1. Soak the raw rice for 5 to 6 hours and grind thoroughly into a paste.

  2. While grinding add only the soaked rice into the jar and add little water and grind it into a smooth paste.
  3. Now add the rest of the water to make a thin consistency of batter.
  4. Do not add the entire water first which wont let you grind the rice into a smooth paste.
  5. Add salt and start making dosa as we do it for rava dosa. 
  6. Take a ladle full of batter and start pouring from the outside to the middle of the pan.

  7. Close it with a lid. Allow it to cook. Do not flip. Wait till the the entire dosa gets cooked and fold it into four folds and keep separately. Do not stack one above the other. It will stick to each other when hot. When cooled it wont stick.

  8. Serve hot with coconut chutney.

Method 2: 
  1. Neer dosa can be made instantly using rice flour. 
  2. Mix rice flour with water to the above consistency and add salt. 

  3. Keep it for 10 minutes and start making dosa as mentioned above.

     






  4. 1 cup of rice flour may yield 4 to 5 dosas.

  •  you should not spread the batter as you do it for normal dosa.
  • Slightly pour 1/2 tsp of oil on the edges and gaps. Keep it in medium flame.
  • Wait for 2mins. the corners will turn brown and you can see the batter on the top surface is also cooked by the change of color.

  • Just remove carefully from the pan. Do not flip the dosa.
  • Repeat the process for the rest of the dosa.
  • It will take more time to get cooked than the ordinary dosa.
  • If the dosa doesn't come out of the pan, simmer the stove add little more oil. Remove slowly.
