Neer dosa explained

Country:India
Region:Tulu Nadu
Type:Dosa
Main Ingredient:Rice

Neer dose, literally meaning water dosa in Tulu is a crêpe prepared from rice batter. Neer dosa is a delicacy from Tulu Nadu in India and a part of Mangalorean cuisine.[1] [2] [3]

Overview

Neer is the word for water in Tulu.[2] [4]

Unlike other dosas neer dosa is known for its simple preparation method and lack of fermentation.[5] Usually, neer dosa is served with coconut chutney, sambar, saagu and non vegetarian curries like chicken, mutton, fish and egg curry.[6]

Ingredients

Even though many variations exist for Neer Dosa batter, the two basic ingredients common to all of them are just soaked rice (or rice flour) and salt.[7]

Preparation

Fermentation of the rice is not required to prepare Neer dosa. The rice needs to be soaked for at least 2 hours. After a quick wash and a drain, the rice needs to be ground by adding water in order to get a very fine batter. Additional amount of water can be added based on the thickness of the batter and then salt is added for taste. Finally, the batter is used to prepare the dosa.[8] [9]
