PALAK NEER DOSA II NEER DOSA II SPINACH NEER DOSA

Neer dosa literally meaning water dosa in Kannada - Tulu language is a crêpe prepared from  rice batter.  Neer dosa is a delicacy from Tulu Nadu  region and part of Udupi - Mangalorean cuisine of Karnataka.  

It is a preparation of two basic ingredients viz. Rice and Salt but some people add bit of grated coconut also. There are many variations of preparing this dosa.  Today I tried it with Palak.  You can masala Neer Dosa, Carrot Neer dosa etc. 

There is no requirement for fermentation of the rice in order to prepare Neer dosa. The rice needs to be soaked for at least 2 hours. After a quick wash and a drain the rice needs to be ground by adding water in order to get very fine batter. Additional amount of water can be added based on the thickness of the batter and then salt is added for taste. Finally the batter is used to prepare the dosa. 

The Basic is the Normal Neerdosa preparation only but only palak is added to this for change in flavour.
