Instead of Processed cheese
Nothing melts exactly like processed cheese; cheddar is the closest.
Cheddar cheeseUse the same weight, grated; melt over low heat with 1–2 tbsp milk. It can turn stringy or split, so do not boil.
Cream cheese or cheddar cheeseUse the same weight; soften and stir in off the heat. Softer, tangier and less salty.
PaneerUse the same weight, grated; it will not melt smoothly but gives a mild milky taste. Add with a little cream.
