FAQ
1. Can I use low-fat milk instead of full-fat?
Yes, but the cheese will be less creamy and yield a slightly different texture.
2. What can I do with the leftover whey?
The whey is rich in nutrients and can be used in smoothies, soups, or as a substitute for water in baking recipes.
3. Can I skip the yogurt?
Yogurt helps enhance the tangy flavor and texture. However, you can replace it with buttermilk or kefir.

This cheese is fresh and mild in flavor, similar to ricotta or paneer, and is free from additives and preservatives.
