Enjoy the crispy perfection of Neer Dosa Mangalore, a classic South Indian fermented crepe with a golden, lacy texture. This vegetarian breakfast favorite is protein-rich and loved by the whole family.
Rinse and soak 1.5 cups raw rice in enough water for at least 4 hours; ensure even soaking for better texture.
Drain the rice and blend it with 0.25 cup fresh grated coconut and 2 cups water until silky smooth; scrape down sides as needed.
Transfer batter to a large bowl, stir in 0.5 tsp salt, and adjust consistency with extra water—aim for a free-flowing, watery batter.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high, then brush with a thin layer of vegetable oil for crisp crepes.
Ladle batter onto the hot pan, swirling immediately to coat thinly; cook uncovered on medium heat for 1-2 minutes until edges lift and dosa releases easily—do not flip.
Slide cooked neer dosa onto a plate, repeat with remaining batter, stirring before each pour to prevent settling; stack cooked dosas between clean towels to keep soft.
