Step-by-Step Procedure with Pictures
How to Make?
Method 1: Traditional-Style Brown Rice Neer Dosa
- Take Brown rice in a large bowl. I use hand pound brown rice for making this recipe.
- Wash the brown rice twice to remove the husk and impurities present. Soak the brown rice for at least 8 hours and at most 10 hours. I prefer soaking the brown rice overnight sine that is wise choice to make the work easier.
- Drain off the excess water from the soaked rice. The drained water could be used while grinding.
- Add the soaked brown rice to the mixer jar. The well-soaked brown rice would take lesser time to grind into a smooth batter.
- Add freshly grated coconut to the mixer jar. The fresh coconut adds a nice coconutty flavour to the Neer Dosa.
- Grind the soaked rice along with the coconut. Water should not be added at first as it may hinder the batter from going smooth.
- Add water little-by-water and grind until it forms a smooth batter.
- Transfer the ground smooth batter to a bowl.
- Add enough water to make the Neer dosa batter consistency runny and watery.
- Add in the required salt and mix well. The Brown rice neer dosa is now ready!
- The prepared batter should be watery and runny like this.
- Pour the watery batter from the top onto the greased, sizzling hot skillet. The Neer Dosa should get pores while doing so.
- Close with a lid and cook for a minute or less. Over-cooking would turn the soft and spongy texture to a crispy Neer Dosa. That's totally perfect for me as my little kiddo wants her Neer Dosa to be little crisp.
- Serve the Neer Dosa hot with Coconut chutney or Garlic chutney.
Method 2: Tempered-Style Brown Rice neer Dosa (my own twist)
- Add gingelly oil to the pan. When it shimmers, add chopped green chilly and curry leaves to it.
- Add in the Black pepper and cumin seeds and saute until they release their aroma.
- Add in the chopped onions and saute for a while. Don't saute the onions much as the crunchiness would be a great delight while eating.
- Finally add the coriander leaves and mix.
- Add the tadka to the brown rice neer dosa batter. The tempered ingredients will start to float. Mix each time the Neer Dosa batter is poured. Doing so would stop the Brown rice sediment at the bottom.
- Pour to a hot skillet like how it is made in the traditional-style.
- Cook for a minute after covering with a lid.
- The super-spicy, extra flavourful, Brown Rice Neer Dosa is ready to get served!
- Coconut chutney pairs very well with the tempered version of Brown Rice Neer Dosa.
