Instant Neer Dosa
Traditional Neer dosa is a delicacy from Tulu Nadu region and part of Udupi – Mangalorean cuisine. Usually prepared by soaking rice overnight and grinding into a thin batter along with coconut and make instant dosa without any fermentation.
This recipe is made instant with no soaking of rice/fermenting, but just using rice flour. Its quick, easy recipe, saves a lot of time and instant breakfast ready in mins. Also tastes similar to traditional neer dosa, and could be served with any curry/chutney/sambar. A classic combination we love to eat with this dosa is the Chicken Curry/Koli Saaru.

Notes
- You could use a Non-Stick Tawa or Cast-Iron Tawa. Though Non-Stick Tawas make the job easier, I personally recommend using Cast iron and works best all the time I have made these dosas.
- Cast iron cookware is inexpensive, hold a high heat capacity, free of chemicals, add trace amounts of iron to your food, and last—well—forever.
- Keep the cast-iron tawa/skillet well seasoned always and exclusive for making dosa. Using the same Tawa for making Roti/Chapathi, would make it harder for making dosas the next time.
- The right temperature of tawa need to be maintained for making this dosa, also the consistency of the batter should be not too thick and not too watery. Don’t worry if dosa sticks anytime and you find hard to scrape out. Just get the tawa off the stove and scrape and once clean, rub oil using half cut onion/potato. The Tawa is all set to make dosas again.
