Neer Dosa Recipe
Neer Dosa. One of my sweet pregnant viewer asked for this recipe. How can i ignore it. So I tried it immediately and it turned out so good. I made this for breakfast today and with no more delay I am sharing the recipe with you all.
About this Recipe
Neer dosa, which translates to water dosa in Tulu and Kannada, is a crêpe made from rice batter. Neer dosa is a Tulu Nadu delicacy that is also a part of Mangalorean cuisine.
Unlike other dosas, the batter is watery, and it is from this that the dosa gets its name – neer means water. It is a healthier alternative to other dosa varieties because it is gluten-free and does not require oil to prepare. It's ideal for a light, healthy breakfast and can fit inside your child's Tiffin box.

This dosa is similar to my paalada recipe, but it is eggless. And this is so soft, super thin and melt in your mouth. The key to get that right is making the batter super thin. This dosa is best served with spicy tomato chutneyor sambar. If you are a non vegetarian, you can serve it with any chicken curry or mutton curry.
Ingredients for Neer Dosa Recipe
- Rice - 2 cup ( I used Doppi Rice )
- Fresh Coconut - ¾ cup grated
- Salt to taste
- Water around 1 liter or adjust
- Oil few tsp for greasing
Rice :
Parboiled rice is very popular in Indias southern states. It is preferred for making idlis and dosas, as well as kanji for babies and the elderly, because it is easier to digest and nutritionally superior to raw rice. Parboiled rice is available in both prepackaged and bulk containers.
Fresh Coconut :
The edible white flesh lining the inside of a coconut, also known as the kernel, is known as coconut meat. Coconut meat can be used to make coconut oil, cream, milk, and dried coconut. Of course, you can eat it raw as well.
How to Make Neer Dosa
- Wash and soak rice in lots of clean water overnight.
- The next morning, drain it and add it to blender along with coconut.
- Grind it, once it is half ground, add in some water and grind it into a smooth paste.
- Once it is done, pour it in to a bowl.
- Add in salt and mix well. Now add in more water make it into a thin batter, the batter shouldn't coat the back of the ladle, it should be that thin.
- Now heat a non stick pan, the pan should have a lid.
- Drizzle few drops of oil and wipe it with a paper towel.
- Now pour a ladleful of batter and swirl the pan to coat it. The batter should coat the pan in a thin layer. Cover the pan and let it cook for 45 sec to a min till the dosa is cooked.
- Once it is cooked, use a spatula to ease the sides, fold the dosa into triangle and store in hot case.
- Serve with spicy tomato chutney or sambar.

Hi Aarthi.. thanks for posting this recipe.. its looks yummy.. BTW what is doppi rice ?
Reply
Aarthi
@PrescillaI am not so sure how to explain it, doppi rice looks short and little fat. I think you can use idli rice too
Reply
Fathimath Sajida
I don't think you can use idli rice or brown rice.neer dosa is made mainly with raw rice/ white rice or basmati rice.

Hi, I tried making Neer Dosa tonight with Basmati rice on my electric stovetop in a non stick pan. Tried also in a copper non stick pan just in case the first one was not good. The rice batter in the pan had so many holes and it did not set at all. Rather it became like sticky gruel like congee. Can you please help?

@AnonymousIt is because of the rice i think. Use idli rice.

Hi Aarthi,
Neer dosa is one of my fav and a staple item at home. I was seeing your recipe and it reminded me one extra thing mom adds to it. I like your blog a lot and it has helped me many a times and so I thought of sharing this tip with you.
Mom adds about a handful (now, that's how mom's give measurements!) of cooked rice (leftover rice from the previous night) or beaten rice (poha - this must be washed in water before use) along with the other ingredients to grind.
She says, it will make the dosa a little softer. I too usually put the previous days, leftover rice when making neer dosa.Regards,
Akshatha SuvarnaReply

Hi Aarathi I have tried your two recipes. Never dosa and potato smileys. Unfortunately both didn't come out well. Never dosa didn't form any holes and was hard.. tell me what happened to it. I used jeerasar rice.
And potato smileys were splitting into pieces when I dropped them into oil..then somehow I managed to shallow fry them.. but was vey oily.. please help.. how to improve both the items.. I am loosing my confidence��
Reply
Aarthi
Use normal cooking rice for the dosa. Also make the dosa batter very liquidy. If ur potato smiley splits, add more cornflour and knead it well. chill the smileys for 30 mins before frying
