Neer Dosa

1 Cup rice
½ Cup fresh or frozen coconut
½ Teaspoon salt
1 3/4 Cups water

Soak rice for four hours. Wash and drain. Blend rice, coconut, and salt with one cup water until very smooth. Add remaining ¾ cup water to the rice mixture and blend to mix well. Transfer rice batter into medium bowl.
Heat a flat non-stick skillet on medium high. Sprinkle few drops of oil into the pan. Pour the rice mixture with a soup ladle into the hot skillet. Tilt the skillet immediately to spread batter evenly to make a thin dosa. Cook for a minute. Fold dosa into half and fold again to make a triangle shape. Transfer dosa onto a plate. Repeat with rest of the rice mixture. Tastes good with any chutney
