Hint:

Memorize the core manufacturing principle for key Indian dairy products: {Khoa} = Heat Evaporation; {Dahi} = Fermentation; {Paneer/Chhana} = Acid Coagulation; {Peda/Burfi} = Khoa + Sugar.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
This question requires matching traditional Indian dairy products with the fundamental principle of their manufacturing process.
Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
Let's match each product from List I to its process in List II:
A. Khoa: This is a heat-desiccated milk product. It is made by vigorously boiling and stirring milk in a large, shallow open pan until most of the water evaporates and it reaches a semi-solid, dough-like consistency. This matches with I.
B. Dahi: This is the Indian equivalent of yogurt. It is produced by the fermentation of milk using lactic acid bacteria, which convert lactose into lactic acid, causing the milk to form a gel. This matches with II.
C. Paneer: This is a type of fresh, unripened cheese. It is made by adding an acid (like citric acid or lemon juice) to hot milk, which causes the casein to coagulate. The resulting curd is then separated from the whey by draining. This matches with IV.
D. Peda: This is a popular Indian sweet. Its primary base is Khoa, to which sugar is added and mixed until a smooth paste is formed, which is then shaped. Therefore, the principle is that it is a sweetened Khoa product. This matches with III.
The correct set of matches is A-I, B-II, C-IV, D-III.
Step 3: Final Answer:
Based on the matching, the correct option is (C).
