When eating from outside, some people may prefer eating foods that appear to be "healthier" than the typical junk food. However, a viral post on X (formerly Twitter) has called into question the quality of ingredients used by restaurants.
An X user shared a screenshot of "analogue paneer" sold to restaurants on the Zomato Hyperpure website.

They make you believe that you are eating healthy food by eating a variety of paneer dishes over junk food. This is being sold on the website of Zomato for restaurants.
