Neer dosa  or Paan polo as we Konkanis call this is a very thin,light and lacy crepes / dosas made with the ground rice batter. Original recipe is grind rice with coconut  and make thin dosas, but I always make it without coconut, and it comes out very nice.You can have this with jaggery syrup,butter,chutney ,jaggery coconut mixture or any spicy curries.This combo is very popular in Mangaluru, Udupi regions.
