help please

I have decided to start cooking in order to help my mum and prepare for the future i.e. after marriage etc…so i got this cook book yesterday, it has some great desert recipes as well but a lot of the recipes require gelatin (which is prohibited in Islam) so does anyone know why they use gelatin for, what does it do to the food? and what can i use as a substitute? or can someone please post some links to desert the Pakistani way - where can i find Rahats recipes?

Re: help please

Get plant gelatin or halal gelatin from a desi store.

Re: help please

gelatin so far i have used only in ice-cream but it is used in other desserts as well so better get the halal gelatin...u can easily get from any paki store...

Re: help please

gelatine is used to thicken and set the dessert

just lyk jelly its gelatine

so its basically used to set the dessert

u cant use anything as a substitute for it

but u can get halal gelatine if u can

Re: help please

use ager ager as a substitute for gelatine.The Ultimate Guide to Vegan Food and Being Vegan | PETA
