Method:

Heat the oil in a saucepan. Add the cumin seeds to it, when they start spluttering add the green chillies, asafoetida/ hing, red chilli powder, salt and then the karondey/ natal plums.

After a few minutes you will notice that the mixture is turning into a pulp, now sprinkle sugar on it and continue to stir it. After a couple of minutes, remove it from flame. This chutney can be preserved in the refrigerator, for a few days without its taste getting affected.
