Neer Dosa Recipe | Chef Venkatesh Bhat Recipes - Recipe #3

I usually grind idli dosa batter only on weekends. So when we reach Friday, I will be short of Idli dosa batter. I usually try Saturday morning breakfast something new every week. When I saw this recipe in samayal samayl, I was really attracted and tried it the next week. I didn't expect much about this recipe since I guessed the taste might be similar to aapam. But when Jany had it, he was super excited and requested this dosa once in a while. It is very simple and easy to make. Here we go for the recipe:

Ingredients:

Raw Rice - 1 Cup

Coconut(Grated) - 1/2 Cup

Salt - as required

Sugar - 1/2 tsp

Water - as required

Oil - to drizzle

Method:

1. Wash and soak the raw rice in water for 2 hours. Then drain the rice and add it to the mixer jar along with the grated coconut. Grind it to a fine smooth paste by adding enough water. Transfer it to the mixing bowl and add required salt, 1/2 tsp sugar.

2. The batter should be in running consistency(Shown in the below pic), so adjust water accordingly. Heat a non stick dosa pan and drizzle some oil. when it is really hot, pour the watery batter to form a outer circle. Then fill in the centre. Do not overlay(dont pour over and over in the same layer). Drizzle some oil again and cover cook the dosa for a minute in medium flame.

3. Do not flip, just fold into quarter as shown below and serve.

I served it with Spicy Egg thokku for our saturday morning breakfast. I have posted the egg thokku here.

Points to remember:

We should not spread this dosa, like we do for our normal plain dosa. It should be poured like rava dosa or wheat dosa.
Adding sugar gives the browing effect in the dosa.
To get the thin lace like dosa, we have to prepare the batter really watery(runny).
Since I have used only 1 Cup rice, I grinded it in Mixie. You can grind it in grinder to get smooth paint like batter.
