Enjoy the crispy perfection of Neer Dosa Kerala, a classic South Indian fermented crepe with a golden, lacy texture. This vegetarian breakfast favorite is protein-rich and loved by the whole family.
Wash the raw rice thoroughly and soak it in water for a minimum of 4 hours to ensure easy blending and optimal texture.
Drain the soaked rice well, then add to a blender with grated coconut and 1 cup water; blend until completely smooth and pourable.
Transfer the batter to a large bowl and add the remaining water; mix well to achieve a thin, watery consistency (should be almost like milk). Stir in salt.
Heat a nonstick skillet on medium-high—when a drop of water sizzles and vanishes immediately, brush lightly with vegetable oil, then pour a ladleful of batter in a circular motion. Quickly swirl so batter coats the pan in a thin, lacy layer.
Cover and cook for about 45 seconds on medium heat—do not flip. When the edges lift and the surface looks cooked with crispy golden spots, gently fold and remove from pan. Repeat, stirring batter each time before pouring.
