For Malayalis, food is an emotion and hardly do 'attacks' on their food go unnoticed by the lot.

Popular chef and television anchor Sanjeev Kapoor appears to have been the latest to get a dose of this from Twitter users, after he shared the recipe of what he called ‘Malabar Paneer’.

Describing the dish, Sanjeev Kapoor wrote: "Malabar Paneer – A wonderful Malabar dish that has the flavours, spices and offers several gastronomic opportunities. The food is generally fresh, aromatic and flavoured."
