For a richer flavor, try using coconut oil instead of vegetable oil. Feel free to experiment with other root vegetables like celeriac or parsnips. If you don't have fresh turnip leaves, you can substitute spinach or kale. Adjust the amount of paprika and turmeric to your preferred spice level. Toasting the shredded coconut before adding it to the dish will enhance its flavor.
