The average cost of home-cooked vegetarian and non-vegetarian thalis dipped by 17% and 12% YoY in October, according to Crisil's Roti Rice Rate report. A sharp decline in prices of onions, potatoes and pulses drove the plunge. Onion prices fell 51% as traders rushed to offload old rabi stock, while potato prices slid 31% due to improved rabi production.
