Cheese making is quite an art and has lot of science behind it. Except for Feta and Mozzarella, the other cheese mentioned above take a lot of time to get ready i.e., may be upto a year or so. Let's leave it for the professionals.
I have salad recipes that use Mozzarella, which I will be more than happy to share.
I am quite good with some Tandoor Items - I shall be posting about them soon.
Bocconcini/Mozzarella Salad:
I prefer Bocconcini as it is softer and tastes better than a regular mozzarella. In a bowl, slice some tomatoes (either vertically/horizontally) and add the bocconcini balls (approx. 2 inch in dia., if bigger, you may cut them into half and use them that way) (after wiping all its drippings). About 1 ball per 2 medium sized tomatoes. Sprinkle with ground pepper and olive oil and throw in few basil leaves for color. Mix well. Ready! Really nice salad
p.s: there is a food festival (Aahaar) organized each year at Pragati Maidan - there they display various kinds of cheese. Sometimes, they are also for sale. Otherwise Sarojni Nagar in Delhi is a good place to buy cheese.
