Neer dosa is a yummy, thin pancake from India. Its name means 'water dosa' in the Tulu language. It's made from a simple rice batter. This special dish comes from a region called Tulu Nadu and is a big part of Mangalorean cuisine.

What is Neer Dosa?

The word Neer means water in both the Tulu language and Kannada language. Neer dosa is different from other dosas. It is known for being very easy to make. You don't need to let the batter ferment, which saves time.

This delicious dosa is often served with tasty side dishes. These include coconut chutney, sambar, and a vegetable dish called saagu. People also enjoy it with non-vegetarian curries. These can be chicken, mutton, fish, or egg curry.

What You Need to Make Neer Dosa

Making Neer Dosa is quite simple! Even though there are a few different ways to make the batter, the main ingredients are always the same. You will need soaked rice (or rice flour) and salt. That's it!

How to Prepare Neer Dosa

You don't need to ferment the rice to make Neer dosa. This makes it a quick and easy dish. First, the rice needs to soak in water for at least two hours. After soaking, you wash the rice quickly and drain the water.

Next, you grind the rice with water until it becomes a very fine batter. You can add more water if the batter is too thick. This helps you get the right consistency. Finally, you add salt to the batter for taste. Then, the batter is ready to be used to make the delicious Neer dosa!
