Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Long Grained Rice See Recipe Notes
  • ½ Cup Fresh Grated Coconut
  • Water
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil for Greasing

Instructions
 

  • Rinse & Soak the rice for 5-6 hours.
  • Grind the rice and coconut in a food processor or mixer-grinder using a little water at a time. You would need approximately 1 cup water for grinding. Grind to very smooth paste.
  • Transfer the batter to a bowl, add salt and additional 1.25 cups of water to adjust the consistency. After adding 1.25 cups water, the batter should resemble milk.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet (with handle) on medium high heat and grease with oil. Wipe away the excess oil using a kitchen towel, if required.
  • Pour about ¼ cup of batter on to the hot skillet using a ladle.Unlike the plain dosa, you cannot spread this batter with the back of your ladle.
  • Holding the skillet by handle, quickly twirl the skillet in the clock wise direction to make a very thin crepe.
  • Drizzle a little oil on top of the crepe, cover with a lid and cook for a minute or two.
  • Typically, the neer dosa is not flipped over. But, I flip the crepe over and cook for a few seconds.
  • Place the crepe over a big inverted sieve or a colander to slightly cool it. This step prevents the crepes from sticking to each other on the serving plate.
  • Serve with any tangy coconut chutney.

Notes

1. You can use the long grain rice that you get in US grocery stores. Back in India, I used Sona Masoori rice to make Neer Dosa.[br]2. If you have leftover batter, refrigerate it. You can use it later.
