While the internet has been a place abound with food critique that are quick to notice an unusual recipe, strange paneer stuffed Palak Idlis dish has come into the notice of the online food buffs who are now questioning the culinary etiquette of the maker. A photo of the unfamiliar dish circulated on the microblogging site after Editor of (Asian News International) ANI, Smita Prakash, posted the dish, questioning “why” would someone, after all, decide to prepare paneer stuffed palak idlis.  

In the photo, originally posted by The Red Plate Chronicle, one can see the delicious green coloured south Indian savoury dish filled with paneer. The colour of the Idlis is due to the spinach that was mixed with the rice batter in order to prepare the “unique” recipe. Instantly, users perched in the comments section with contradictory reviews as some called the dish an “abomination” while others thought that it was still better than the “ice-cream dosa”. Twitter engaged in an onslaught of verbal opinions, dragging the cook of the “strange” recipe into an interrogation.  

“Why?” asked a commenter, adding, “At least it will make the food edible.” Another said, “This punjabization of every South Indian dish needs to stop.” “We Saraswats of Mangalore side make something called "Amshe Tikshe Sandan" which is sweet-spicy-sour idlis... Yummy to the core. Such dishes should gain prominence rather than this abomination of adding paneer stuffing to random idlies,” advised a third commenter.
