Ingredients
- 7.05 ounces dried plum
- 1 cup water
- ¼ cup demerara sugar
- ½ teaspoon chilli flakes
- ½ teaspoon cumin see the note, ground
- Pinch salt
- chaat masala optional.
Instructions
- Place the plums, water, sugar, chilli flakes, ground cumin and salt in a saucepan. And cook at medium high heat until the water reaches boiling point.
- Gently stir and let it simmer until the sugar dissolves and the plums become soft.
- It takes approximately 20 minutes at moderate-low heat to get the softened plums with thick sauce from caramelised sugar.
- Take care and keep stirring every so often to prevent the chutney burning at the bottom of the pan.
- Check the taste and flavour. Feel free to add more salt if needed.

Notes
- If possible, use freshly ground cumin seeds as they have a better aroma.
- A generous sprinkle of chaat masala can give a more piquant aroma and flavour to the chutney. You can use the shop-bought one and choose the one you like. I personally use either the Laziza brand or Shan brand.
