QUESTION
Buffalo milk is preferred over cow milk for manufacture of Paneer because?
OPTIONS
(A) Paneer prepared from Buffalo milk is white in colour, sweetish, spongy, nutty flavoured.
(B) Paneer prepared from Buffalo milk is very compact and fragile and its pieces lose their identity during cooking.
(C) Paneer prepared from Buffalo milk is often substituted for meat in many vegetarian dishes of Indian cuisine.
(D) Paneer prepared with buffalo milk is more quantitatively as compared to cow milk.
ANSWER
(A) Paneer prepared from Buffalo milk is white in colour, sweetish, spongy, nutty flavoured.
EXPLANATION
Buffalo milk produces paneer with desirable white colour, sweetish taste, spongy body, nutty flavour, and a close-knit texture because of its higher total solids and characteristic protein-mineral balance. The statements about excessive fragility or use as a meat substitute do not explain the technological preference, while the yield statement is less complete than the quality description. Therefore, option (A) is correct.
