Bariyakki dose

Also known as bajjardosai and neerudosai is integral part of udupi cuisine.
Ingredients
2 cups rice
½ cup grated coconut
method
soak the rice for about an hour drain and grind with coconut and salt to taste. The mixture has to be very thin, I add about 2 ½ cups of water to this . the batter is splashed on to the hot skillet. The skillet has to be oiled before pouring the batter.
It is better to use a non-stick pan and rotate the batter like an omelette this keeps the oil usage down.
