One day before the 2020 US presidential election, netizens were surprised to see #PaneerTikka trending on Twitter along with names like Donald Trump, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. It turned out that the famous Indian snack found a spot on the trend list due to a tweet from Indian-American Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal.
The day before the US presidential election, Jayapal decided to cook her comfort food “paneer tikka” in honor of Democratic vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris, who recently revealed that her favorite North Indian dish was “any kind of tikka. ”. However, it appears that Jayapal’s version of paneer tikka failed to tickle the taste buds of desi netizens.
“Compulsive activity, the night before the election: making comfort food. That’s the paneer tikka tonight, in honor of choosing #KamalaHarris Veep tomorrow as she just said on Instagram that her favorite North Indian food is any kind of tikka. Come on people! VOTE! # BidenHarris2020, ”Jaypal tweeted as he shared a photo of his plate of cookies.
In another tweet titled “By Public Demand,” he also shared the recipe.
By popular demand, the recipe for Paneer Tikka Masala, slightly adapted from the fabulous @two men! You can eat the tikka by itself or add the masala (sauce) which is like a curry. Enjoy! pic.twitter.com/0tNyEZOWN4

However, Jaypal’s tweet soon sparked a flood of reactions on social media, with many pointing out that the traditional ‘paneer tikka’ is not served with sauce. Many, amused by Jaypal’s tweet, also shared images of various dishes with incorrect names.

In which universe does it qualify as paneer tikka? @_SiddharthNayak https://t.co/FNW3UwYwaG

Guys, I realized what happened.
Pramila ordered malai paneer at a restaurant and called it paneer tikka. She didn’t cook this. That is why he does not know what dish it is. https://t.co/8A3Bdh5WHw– Nitayuvani celebrating Diwali! (@nitayuvani) November 3, 2020
It takes a google search to know the difference between a tikka and a makhani
