Hi….madam I have used many of your recipes n have turned out successful.Just as a reminder mozzarella cheese is not vegetarian as many other cheese,it contains rennet which is an extract from the hoofs of the cow,what other cheese can I use,I am a Hindu n can’t consume this cheese.Thank you.
Sri Ranjini,
I also don’t use cheese with rennet, in market many brand of mozzarella cheese available without rennet, just read the ingredients.
Thank you Manjula – I love watching your videos and have tried many of your recipes which have turned out delicious.
