Which of the following is a sweet made from curd, popular in the western part of India?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Shrikhand.
Shrikhand is a popular sweet dish made from strained curd (yogurt), and it is indeed very popular in the western part of India, particularly in the states of Gujarat and Maharashtra. To prepare it, yogurt is hung in a muslin cloth to drain out the whey, resulting in a thick, creamy "hung curd" or "chakka." This is then mixed with sugar, saffron, cardamom, and sometimes nuts or fruit, and chilled before serving. It's a beloved dessert, especially during festivals and celebrations.
