Neer Dosa

Neer dosa or water dosa is the best thing to make when you feel like having dosa but haven't soaked and fermented the dal-rice combo as required to make the usual dosa. Since it requires about an hr or so of soaking the rice, you can make this real quickly and is a good dish to serve when you have surprise visitors.

The authentic way of making this dosa, is to grind the rice with some coconut. But I wanted to avoid using coconut just so that its is healthier. So I completely avoided it and also I added chopped curry leaves and chopped cilantro to the batter just for that zing. But its not the authentic way.

Ingredients:
1 cup rice, soaked in warm water for a min. of 1 hr
1 spoon rice flour (optional)
2-3 curry leaves, torn
2-3 sprigs of cilantro, chopped
Salt as per taste

Method:

• Grind the rice with as little water as you can add.
• As the rice starts grinding, add more water and keep on grinding.
• Remove the batter in a bowl, and add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
• Add more water if required. The consistency should be watery.
• To make the dosas, heat a griddle and wipe some oil on it.
• Neer dosas are not made like the traditional dosas where you to spread the batter.
• Instead you splash the watery batter on the tava (griddle) and swirl around if required.
  
• It should form thin layer.
  
• It should form small holes on the surface.
• Let it cook completely on the bottom.
• If you want it crispier, turn on the other side and heat it as well.

Enjoy with chutney and sambhar.
