Neer Dosa [ Mangalore dish ]

Ingredients :

• Raw cooking rice [ normally we use, to cook ] - 1/2 kg
• Fresh grated coconut - 1/2 [ 1/2 portion of coconut ]
• Salt - As required
• Sugar - 1/4 tsp [ optional ]
• Coconut oil or fresh ghee - For roasting

Method :

First soak the rice in enough water in previous night. Then drain the water completely and grind with coconut to a smooth batter [ the batter should be thin like rawa dosa batter ]. Add salt and a pinch of sugar to that and mix well. If you add sugar to the batter, it gives light brown colour [ not compulsory ]. Keep dosa non- stick tawa on the gas. When it becomes hot, pour one cup of batter [ drop the batter like making rawa dosa ]. Pour oil or ghee round to the dosa. When one side is cooked, remove from the tawa and serve with tomato chutney.
