Ghaavane (घावने )/Neer Dosa
Maharashtra has been amalgamation of variety of Maharashtrians residing in different parts of states. One such type of Maharashtrians that have Agriculture as their main source of Income reside along the Coastal areas of Maharashtra. My family ancestors have been based along the Konkan areas of Maharashtra mainly Sindhdurg District. Sindhdurg District comprises of cities like Sawantwadi, Vaibhavwadi, Malvan, Kankavli, vengurla, Kudal, Oros and Devgad. The major crops cultivated in these areas are Rice, Coconut, Kokam, Mango and Cashew. The cuisine of the Sindhdurg district is popularly known as "Malvani Cuisine". Malvani Cuisine is not high on oil or spices but equally tasty with the use of local spices. The list of various dishes prepared under Malvani Cuisine are Kombadi Vade, Ghavane (घावने ), Amboli, Pithi Bhat, Ukdya Tandlachi Phej, Kaju chi bhaji (Cashew Curry), Phansa chi bhaji (Jackfruit Curry) etc. Ghavane (घावने ) being one of the most popular dishes which act as a substitute for Rice, Rotis, Bhakri.
Ghavane (घावने ) mainly is made out of Rice Flour with sweet coconut milk. It is mainly a type of Dosa made on an iron griddle. It would be safe to say it is a "go-to" food for residents. It is pure nostalgia for us as it was one of the most savored dishes made by our grand mother and mother. I am sharing a part of my childhood with this recipe for all the followers. Let's have trip down the memory lane with this quick and delicious recipe.

Making Ghavane (घावने ):
Heat up a nonstick pan and add add 1/2 tsp of oil to the pan. I did not use oil as the nonstick was real good. If you feel the ghavane (घावने ) might stick to the pan then add just a teaspoon.
Take a ladle full of batter and add it to the pan. Keep moving the pan in such a way that the batter covers all the edges.
Let it cook on medium flame without flipping it over.
Once you notice pores on the side facing up and edges loosening off, gently without using spatula try putting it on a plate.
Let it rest for few minutes.
Fold it into a triangle and serve hot with Green Chutney, Chicken Curry or Fish Curry.
