I recently made palak paneer from 101 Cookbooks (she calls the recipe saag paneer, but I think it's palak). Every time we eat Indian food I order palak paneer. It is my hands down favorite food. I was excited when the recipe from 101 Cookbooks appeared. I tried making palak paneer a long time ago and it didn't turn out well.
A handful of the 101 Cookbooks readers posted that making this recipe at home was more expensive than buying palak paneer from a restaurant. I concur. I paid $5 for the spinach, and that amount was actually less than the recipe called for. I spent $5 on the paneer. I think I can order palak paneer from a restaurant for $8, so I have to agree with the other posters on this point.
The dish turned out okay. I liked that it did not taste like a lot of oil was added, which is often the case with restaurant quality paneer dishes. But something was missing and I will not make this again.
