Every Southern State in India has a Dosa specialty which is unique in taste and texture. You may be familiar with the traditional dosa recipe that’s made from 1:4 portion of urad dal and rice. However, if you have traveled across South India, you would have come across a range of dosas made from a concoction of legumes, grains, herbs, and fillings. So, let us introduce you to some of the best dosa recipes from different parts of the southern regions that you can prepare in your kitchen.
Neer Dosa
Neer dosa is a staple breakfast recipe from Tulu Land and is part of the Udupi, Mangalorean cuisine. The best thing about this recipe is that it can be prepared instantly, without having to ferment the batter. Neer which stands for water in Tulu signifies that the consistency of the batter is very thin and flowy. Neer Dosa is perfect for dunking in non-veg gravies like Mangalorean Kori Gassi and it goes equally well with a spicy chutney. With a little bit of planning, the dosa can be put together in minutes.
