METHORD OF PREPARATION

 Soak the rice for 3-4 hours. If you intend to prepare for    morning breakfast, you can soak it overnight.

 Wash the soaked rice and grind it finely with grated coconut and salt by adding sufficient water and then transfer to a bowl.

In a mixing bowl, take the prepared  flour  and  add ½ glass water , pinch of  cooking soda and mix well, the flour  should  be  thin  as shown in the picture  below ………

Add enough water to make it somewhat thin batter 

Heat a flat pan on a high heat ,apply oil to the pan with back of the spoon (or) with onion slice 

When the pan gets hot ,pour a ladle full of dosa batter in a circular motions

Make sure that the batter is thin enough when the batter hits the hot pan dosa makes small holes ,

If there are big holes try to fill them 

Don't spread the batter with the back of the ladle [ it won’t come and it will stick to the ladle]

Pour 1 tsp of oil around dosa for frying 

Fry on low and medium flame till you can turn dosa from the bottom.

Carefully turn to another side by reducing the heat to medium, when other side also gets fried serve the neeru dosa /coconut dosa plain with chutney {the dosa will not be crispy it will be soft}.

Repeat the same procedure with the left batter also

Suggestion - If the dosa batter is thick the dosa will not be tasty, so if the batter is thick add water and make it thin 

If it is too thin dosa won't come out from the pan so add some wheat flour and rice flour.
