This is a traditional Bengali recipe of Indian dessert and called Ranga Aloor Puli Pithe.While the outer crust is made by boiling sweet potatoes and adding rice flour ,the inner filling varies from coconut to khowa and sometimes both mixed.A delicious kheer with milk is made with date palm jaggery (nolen gur)and the dumplings given a boil in it.Serve chilled as a dessert.
