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.

1. The Wholesale Price Index in India
   It provides weekly and monthly commodity price index (rice, wheat..)
   But recent data may be missing, for instance, rice only has weekly data from 2005-2012

2. World Bank India development indicator database
   Some may relate to our subject: GDP annual growth, average monthly temperature...
   http://data.worldbank.org/country/india
   And they also provide a convenient search interface to query their development indicator database
   Eg: Country(India) -> Series(agricultural value added % of GDP) -> Time(1995-2013)
