Rava fried potato can also be called as semolina coated potato which is shallow fried. Rava fried potato is known as batata kappa or batata fodi in Konkani and is a traditional delicacy. In Konkani potato is known as batat. On the veg days like Monday or Thursday, people just fry some potato fodi by coating in rava and serve them with rice, vodyache aam and kokum kadi.
