Home cooked meals became dearer in November compared to the year-ago period due to higher prices of tomato and potato, according to a report on Thursday.
A vegetarian thali's price increased 7 per cent on year to Rs 32.7, primarily on a 35 per cent jump in tomato prices to Rs 53 per kg and 50 per cent increase in potato at Rs 37 per kg, rating agency Crisil's monthly 'Roti Rice Rate' report said.
Additionally, prices of pulses rose 10 per cent, it said, adding that they will decline with fresh arrivals in December, while import duty hike led to a 13 per cent increase in vegetable oil prices.
An 11 per cent decrease in fuel cost due to an LPG price cut that helped ease the pressure on the thali cost.
A non-vegetarian thali cost inched up 2 per cent to Rs 61.5 in November due to a 3 per cent increase in the cost of broilers, which have a 50 per cent weightage in computation.
Compared with October, a 17 per cent decline in tomato prices helped in a 2 per cent reduction in the cost of

Indian businesses should take a "balanced" approach in dealing with China as excessive dependence on its supply chain could be detrimental to India's national interest, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Thursday.
In an interactive session at industry chamber Assocham, he said the recent resolution of the issues in the remaining friction points along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh has resulted in "some progress" but there is a need for further discussions.
To a question on evolving relations with China, he said with that country accounting for 32-33 per cent of global manufacturing, it is logical that several supply chains will have to go through China.
"It is a reality which we will have to factor (that) into our calculations."
"But it is also a fact that if you become excessively dependent on a single supply chain or in the name of supply chain, you open up your market that it is no longer a supply chain, but your sectors are getting hollowed out. 

S Jaishankar, Jaishankar

In their first diplomatic talks under a key dialogue mechanism since withdrawing troops from two face-off points, India and China on Thursday reflected on the lessons learnt from the eastern Ladakh border row in order to prevent such face-offs in future.
At the meeting of the Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination (WMCC) on India-China border affairs in New Delhi, the two sides agreed to maintain peace and tranquillity in border areas in line with bilateral pacts and protocols.
The two sides also prepared for the next meeting of the Special Representatives on the boundary question.
"The two sides positively affirmed the implementation of the most recent disengagement agreement which completed the resolution of the issues that emerged in 2020," the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said.
The eastern Ladakh military standoff between India and China began in May 2020 and a deadly clash at the Galwan Valley in June that year resulted in a severe strain in ties between the
