For Malayalis, food is an emotion and hardly does '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 flavors, spices and offers several gastronomic opportunities. The food is generally fresh, aromatic and flavored."

So naturally, many users were irked by...eh...the obvious absence of beef in the dish.

What's a controversy without crying "exasperated farrago of distortions?"

Users just couldn't fathom how Malabar and paneer could go together. Here's what some of them said:

While some users tried to reason that Sanjeev Kapoor's dish was an experimental one, not many were pleased. Clearly.
