Can I use Cottage cheese instead of ricotta? Its not easily available here. I'm not looking at any specific recipe when I ask this. Just curious.

How is the the taste and texture of ricotta different form cottage cheese? I have never had it.
American cottage cheese is usually more watery and more mild in flavor than traditional ricotta. A good example is lasagna. If you try to substitute cottage cheese for ricotta on an equal basis the lasagna will probably be runny and it won't taste as good.

How can you use cottage cheese for someone lactose intolerant?
