cheese essence is not vegetarian, why to use ?
Hey Alka,
I have not used cheese essence in this recipe coz I didnt get it. So I dont know wat is that made up of. Apologies.
very impressive yaaa….hats offf for these mouth watering and delicious recipes.
Thanks sheetal
Will definitely try this… Thanks for sharing.
interesting …await for more latest pure jain recipe . thanks
I will try it thank’s for sharing
I tried it but it has very sour taste
Hi Reena, make sure you use the right quantity of milk and citric acid. When we made, it turned out to be good which was the same as we clicked the picture above. Though it may be a little liquidy or slim·y which was the only concern.
It’s yumm
Thanx for the recipe
do you know what are the contents of cheese essence .
it could be just the flavour or the essense extracted from actual cheese. Actual Cheese should always be avoided as it it not Jain. Please refer to the essence content properly.
Thanx
For your reply
I used the right quantity of milk & citric acid but I want to know abt it’s taste is it exactly taste like market ? It was exactly like in the picture but taste is little sour?
thanks a lot mam…finally my much awaited receipe has come…will definately try this and let u know how it turned out after padhyushan.i m so happy
aacha hua ki ghar mai hi cheese bana sakate hai so easy kushi hui kuch naya sikhane ko mila
I was desperately in need of this recipe …..thanks …will try it once
Which milk powder?
Hello Heena, Ideally you can use any milk powder however we recommend using whole milk powder which tastes better than skimmed one.
Nimbu k phool iz nt dun…cz evn nimbu k phool is nt to use
Can nimbu ka phool or tatri be used in jainism?
If no, then whats the reason?
is milk powder needed?
Yes
citric acid is “abhakshy” ..according to jain principles, it’s anantkaay.. so, we cant use it.. please provide it’s alternative..
Hi Shalibhadra, Apologise for not replying quickly. I have made the changes now. You can also use lemon juice.
Tried the recipie n it was welcomed by the family happily, it can be made in the morning n consumed by evening so basi food ka chakkar hi nahi .thank you for this recipe.
Hi…Milk powder is abhakshya.is there any alternative?
Hi Puneet, I do not have an alternative for now. This recipe was provided during a session at Jain Derasar and should be fine.
IS CHEESE ESENCE NEEDED?
No, It is not necessary and can be avoided.
Awosme thanks a lot my kids just love it
Thanks Meghna – Good to Know
Cheees essence nevr available in market so wat vil I do….pls requst ….in wich store in Mumbai I vil get it
Hi Sonal, Cheese Essence is optional – infact even I have not used it either. I think it must be available in stores that sell International Products like Crawford market or HyperMart in Malad.
Which type of container can b used to store it in refrigerator.?..steel wil do?
Yes Rinni, steel will do
Thank u
hii i made it bt i nt found it to be salty wen made..! lets see hw ut come out after gtting freezed
Do Let me know how it turned out Aloki
its sweet nd nt salty nd even very soft..! its like wen it is in freezer it seems to be like ice nd wen out in room tempreture its like hard jelly type ..! pls help me wat to do nd nt a yellowish color also nd it dosent melts also ..! it taste like little swet nd nt at all like cheese ..! help me out
Hey Aloki, Well it would never melt like a regular cheese that we get outside – This is only an alternative which can be as close to cheese as it gets. You may have added more Milk Powder – try adding less of it. Make sure you have taken the exact mesurements and have taken “teaspoons” and not tablespoons – both are different.
If you find any other recipe let me know i can have it replaced.
hi dear waiting to try this, sounds really interesting
Helo madam
milk mai lemon juice dalte hai to vo phat nahi jayega milk plz reply I m waiting beacause I m going to try out today
Hi Avni, Cheese ke liye doodh ko phaadna hi padta hai – so it is okay to add lemon. We also add milk powder which is why whey doesnt separate out. Do let me know how this recipe turns out. I have heard mixed results.
It turned very nice it was perfect in taste
Can you tell how to make brown gravy for punjabi dishes plz reply
You said in one of the comments that actual cheese is not Jain – do you know what is the reason? Is the reason of the bacteria and cultures present in them or is it because it is non-vegetarian?
Hi Vishal,
Some of the cheeses contains rennet which is part of cow’s intestine – hence non-vegetarian. While other cheese may be called vegetarian but the process involves storing it for many days and years for maturing and better taste. This in turn also increases the amount of bacteria and cultures as you said.
Hence, Ideally we should be avoiding all cheeses available in the market or make sure they are vegetarian before consuming it. The Alternative I have mentoned above is made and consumed on the same day.

what is cheese essence and from which thing it is made up of?
Hi Smit,
Cheese essense is usually vegetarian and suitabe for jains however you may have to check the contents before you buy. This is basically sourced from ingredients which tastes like cheese but not one.
I know 50 to 60 types of gravies Specially Jain Gravies.
