The cost of a homemade meal rose in January year-on-year due to a hike in the prices of potatoes, pulses and chicken, a report said on Thursday.
A jump in the chicken prices led to a more pronounced jump in the non-vegetarian thali, the monthly roti, rice rate report by a unit of ratings agency Crisil said.

The cost of a vegetarian meal increased to Rs 28.7 per plate from Rs 28 per plate in the year-ago period, on a 35% growth in potato, 7% in pulses and 17% in vegetable oils, it said, adding that an 11% drop in fuel costs helped temper the impact.
When compared with the preceding month, the cost of a veg thali cooled from Rs 31.6 per plate on a 34% fall in tomato prices, 16% decline in potato and 21% in onion prices, it said.
In the case of non-veg thali, the cost of preparing a plate went up to Rs 60.6 each from Rs 52 a year ago on a 33% jump in broiler, which accounts for 50 per cent weight in the overall price, it said.
The price of a non-veg thali cooled from Rs 63.3 each in December on the back of a decline in prices of tomato, onion and potato but was restricted by a 1% increase in broiler prices, the agency said.
