We don't necessarily need only data directly related to food. Any kind of data that might be correlated to food prices is useful. We can even go as far as to track restaurants in India and see how many people have visited them in a given period on e.g. Foursquare to see how many people afford to eat out given the period.
Some extended datasets. Maybe someone has looked into these.
Found a source for daily RETAIL prices by the Department of Consumer Affairs Price Monitoring Cell

They provide data for the following commodities: Rice, Wheat, Atta, Gram Dal, Tur (Arhar) Dal, Urad Dal , Moong Dal, Masur Dal, Sugar, Gur, Groundnut Oil, Mustard Oil, Vanaspati, Sunflower Oil, Soya Oil, Palm Oil, Tea, Milk, Potato, Onion, Tomato, Salt
Brainstorm ideas for other places where people may discuss food prices: News articles, reddit comments, Forums in India etc.
