Coconut is used to get soft dosas. And it tastes well.

Andhra has something similar and they call it "Attalu" (or Attlu).
They don't use coconut though.

This is a very famous dish in Dakshin Kannada and Udupi district. Neeru means water in Kannada. This is called neeru dosa because the dosa batter is as thin as water.
