Neer dosa recipe with step by step photos. Sharing a very tasty and unique dosa recipe from karnataka, neer dosa recipes literally translates to water dosa recipe.

It is so called as the batter for this dosa should be very thin, thinner than rava dosa. The thin batter when poured from certain height yields a lacy soft white and absolutely tasty dosa. It is a very tasty dish but you need some practice to make perfect neer dosa recipe.

You can add freshly grated coconut for grinding or use coconut water for grinding the rice too. This easy dosa recipe needs no fermentation. You just need to soak the rice and the prepared batter can be used for making dosa immediately.

Neer dosa recipe is very similar to a recipe called verum arisi dosai from Tamil cuisine. This will be good dish to pack in tiffin as this does not turn hard or rubbery on cooling. There are few tips and tricks for making good neer dosa recipe which I have listed below:

How to make perfect neer dosa recipe:

1. The raw rice you use should be of good quality. I generally use the regular raw rice/ponni rice.

2. The batter should be ground very smooth. Even if there are very fine particles of rice, the dosas will crack.

3. If using a cast iron pan it should be very well seasoned else the dosas will surely stick.

4. The batter consistency should be coorect, it should be very thin, thinner than rava dosa. if the batter is thick, dosa will turn hard and rubbery after cooling. If very thin than required dosas will not retain shape.

5. Neer dosas should not be flipped. Cover and cook the dosa, once done fold and place on a plate.

6. Do not stack these dosas, they will stick, just place on the plate leaving some space.

Neer dosa recipe with step by step photos:

1. Rinse, drain and soak 1.5 cups rice in plenty of water for 6-12hours.

2. Drain the water and grind the rice into a very smooth batter. You can use coconut water for grinding the rice or add 2 tablespoons of grated coconut while grinding. Add very little water while grinding else rice particles will be left.

3. For batter from 1.5 cups of soaked rice, I have added about 2 1.4 cups water to make neer dosa. Add salt and mix very well.

4. To make neer dosa, heat a non stick or well seasoned cast iron tava. The tava should be very hot.

5. Mix the batter very well. Take a big ladle full of water and pout from outside to inside. The dosa will not be a perfect circle.

6. Lower the flame and close with a lid. Allow the dosa to get cooked for a minute.

7. Do not flip the dosa. Fold into a triangle and place on a plate. Repeat the same with the remaining batter. Serve neer dosa with chutney or korma.
