Description
Neer Dosa is a soft, lacy pancake made from rice and coconut, perfect with chutney or curry.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 and ½ cups raw white rice
- ½ cup grated fresh coconut
- 1 teaspoon salt
- oil for brushing
Instructions
- Rinse raw rice well with water.
- Soak the rice in 4 cups of water for 10-12 hours.
- Drain the water and add the rice to a blender along with coconut and ¼ cup of water.
- Blend to make a very smooth batter. Scrape the sides of the blender a few times while blending until the batter is really smooth with no grittiness.
- Transfer the batter to a large mixing bowl and add salt to it. Mix well to combine.
- Add 3 cups of water to the batter to make it really thin. The consistency should be like milk.
- Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and brush it with very little oil.
- Stir the batter well and pour a ladleful of it from the outside towards the inside. Pour more batter in the gaps.
- Cook uncovered for 2 minutes or until the edges start leaving the pan; the dosa is ready when it’s white and soft, not crispy.
- Fold the dosa in half and then into a triangle. To prevent sticking, place it on a perforated surface to cool completely before folding.
- Serve hot with any chutney or curry.
- Before pouring the next dosa batter, sprinkle some water over the pan and wipe it with a cloth to lower the temperature slightly.
Notes
- If the dosas are not coming out lacy and with pores, that means your batter is too thick. Add some more water.
- Ensure the pan is hot, but not excessively so.
