Spicy Neer Dosa Recipe

Step 1: To begin making the Spicy Neer Dosa Recipe; we will first soak the rice in completely immersed in water for at least 3 hours

Step 2: Once the rice is soaked well, drain out the water

Step 3: Grind the soaked rice, coconut and salt in a blender adding water little at a time to make a smooth batter

Step 4: It is important to add a little water at a time to grind the rice into a smooth batter

Step 5: When you feel the batter between your fingers it should be smooth and not coarse

Step 6: Once the Neer Dosa batter is ground, transfer it to a large bowl

Step 7: Add enough water such that the dosa batter has a smooth flowing consistency

Step 8: The consistency of the batter should be such that the batter has a very thin coating at the back of the spoon and not a thick coating

Step 9: If if forms a thick later, then the you need to add a little more water

Step 10: Grind the whole spices - Coriander Seeds, Cumin Seeds, Methi Seeds and Dried Red Chillies as well to a smooth paste by adding some water and add into the batter

Step 11: Check the salt levels and adjust to suit your taste

Step 12: The Neer Dosa batter is now ready to be made

Step 13: The Neer Dosa is made very similar to the Rava Dosa

Step 14: To make the Neer Dosa, we don’t spread it on the pan like a pancake or a regular dosa

Step 15: We pour the dosa batter on the hot pan and it will spread itself creating holes

Step 16: Note: It is a good idea to use an iron pan, as the texture and the softness of the dosa comes out perfectly with an iron pan

Step 17: To begin, make sure you have a greased and seasoned iron pan

Step 18: Grease and preheat the iron pan until it is sizzling hot

Step 19: When you sprinkle water on the pan; the water will sizzle and evaporate

Step 20: Once you have the right heat on the pan; pour a ladle of the batter in a circular motion starting from the outer edges

Step 21: The batter will sizzle and flow to spread itself

Step 22: Fill in the batter where there are gap, but do allow the dosa to have a few tiny holes

Step 23: There is no need to sprinkle oil to cook the Neer Dosa

Step 24: The Neer Dosa cooks very quickly; when you notice the top of the dosa is no longer raw, the Neer Dosa is cooked and has a rich white colour

Step 25: The cooking process will take less than 30 seconds per dosa

Step 26: Slide a flat spatula from the sides of the pan and fold the Neer Dosa into a half and then into another half to form a triangle

Step 27: Place the Neer dosa on a platter and continue to make Neer Dosa’s the similar way

Step 28: Make sure you place the Neer Dosa’s away from each other when they are hot; as they tend to stick to each other

Step 29: Once they cool down, you can place them one on top of the other; into a covered bowl and serve warm
