Today's recipe for instant dosa in Cooking Carnival is a lacy,soft dosa called Neer dosa.
Neer dosa is a popular coastal Karnataka dosa,served with chutney and some non-veg curries.Also it's served with fresh grated coconut and jaggery.
Neer means water in Kannada,a thin,watery batter is used to make this dosa,so called Neer dosa.
Traditionally neer dosa is prepared using iron skillet and needs some practice.The batter consistency is so important to get a perfect neer dosa.This dosa is so soft even after cooling and I served mine with a simple tomato kurma.
