Neer dosa is a delicate, paper-thin South Indian rice crepe that sits lightly on the stomach, contains minimal energy value, is naturally free from gluten, and is typically prepared without any added fats. Its nutritional profile and taste can be enhanced by including egg within the mixture or pairing it with a gently cooked egg on the side. This upgraded version makes for a wholesome morning meal that leaves you feeling comfortably full while fitting well into a balanced eating routine and supporting healthy weight control.
Dosa is often tastiest when made using a dal-rice batter and frying it crispy in plenty of ghee. That's not to say that dosas made without heavy amounts of rice and ghee can't taste rather yum too and make for nutritious light breakfasts.
