description Neer Dosa Overview

Neer Dosa is a delicate, crepe-like flatbread originating from the Tulu Nadu region along the southwestern coast of Karnataka, India. Its name translates to "water dosa," reflecting the simple, unfermented batter made by grinding soaked raw rice with water and often coconut. Unlike traditional fermented dosas, this batter is poured thin onto a hot griddle to create a lacy, soft texture with crisp edges. It is a staple in regional Udupi cuisine and is typically served for breakfast or lunch with coconut chutney, vegetable curries, or sweetened grated coconut.
