Neer dosa, literally meaning water dosa in Tulu, is a crêpe prepared from rice batter. Neer dosa is a delicacy from the Tulu Nadu region, and part of Udupi - Mangalorean cuisine. These are thin, fluffy and lacy crepes made with ground rice batter. Neer dosa is easy to prepare as fermentation is not required. you just need to soak the rice for about 4 to 5 hours and then grind it. Once the batter is ready, you can start making the dosas. You can also soak the rice overnight.
