Coconut milk and curry leaves are added into the recipe so that the dish gets some coastal flavour.
Now if you are not much acquainted with the cuisine of Malabar, let us tell you that other than meat, chicken and fish, nothing else is much liked by the people of Malabar.
Sanjeev Kapoor’s Malabar Paneer was not liked by Twitterati and they trolled him mercilessly. Here are few selected tweets:

Adding Malabar prefix to a dish does not make it a Malabar dish. I dare you to find a Malabar dish that use paneer.
