• Price per Unit: The cost of a standard 100-gram piece of plain barfi (or malai barfi) from a mid-tier sweet shop (halwai). A sharp increase signals inflation.
• Size/Weight Integrity: Whether the sweet has maintained its traditional dimensions. Shrinkflation (reducing size while keeping price constant) is a key indicator of input cost pressure.
• Ingredient Quality: The proportion of khoya (reduced milk solids), sugar, and flavorings (e.g., pista, elaichi). A decline in milk solids or an increase in adulterants (like flour or synthetic milk powder) indicates supply-side pressures on dairy.
