<p>After pulses and sugar it is time for vegetables to fly higher. Earlier when pulses were priced higher the housewives could cook vegetables in the kitchen as a cheaper alternate. But, what will they do now when vegetables are raising high to compete down the pulses in terms of prices. Housewives in Indore are at loss to decide what to cook in the kitchen to maintain the taste and at the same time keep their monthly budget at an optimum level. What to eat and what not? is a big question for middle and lower class families these days. Big families have to do with watered-down pulses and vegetables, not to tell though. <br />This unexpected, unseasonable raise in vegetable prices has been caused because of recent, Fayan driven, rain which has damaged more than 25 – 30% vegetables in the region and has reduced the total input of vegetables in market. Before rain Bhindi and Gilki were available at 15-20 Rs. Per Kg which is now being sold at Rs.40-50 &amp; Rs.50-60 per kg, while tomato which was sold at Rs.10-12 per kg is now selling at Rs.20-25 per Kg.</p>
