I think it is a fruit called Chambakka.
There are a few recipes for chambakka achaar, which means pickled chambakka.
But I would try this chambakka jelly recipe. It looks delicious!
My best guess would be wampee fruit - has roughly the same size, shape, and stem colour, and obviously comes from the same region, although I'm not sure about the interior:
It's hard to tell from the low contrast in the photo but it could also be loquat, AKA "Japanese Plum".
Only problem with the second choice is that loquat usually has full-on brown branches as opposed to green stems - so it's probably the wampee.

It looks like either Pepino Melon (which I'm growing this year, and I tried to grow in 2015) or Tzimbalo, by the color, the dark striping and the leaves. Eggplant is related to both, but eggplant leaves leaves are broader and bigger than I see in the picture, usually (if not always). Pepino Melons are typically (not always) bigger and longer than Tzimbalo, but it's hard to tell from your picture which it is. I personally think it looks more like a Pepino Melon by the color, lack of sheen, and the way the leaves look.
It looks like the plant might have spider mites, by the speckling on the foliage. Mine had spider mites in 2015. If you do have spider mites, showering the plant with a shower nozzle on your hose every two or three days may help, at least if you're in a semi-arid to arid climate.
Pepino Melons are not melons, although some people think they taste like them. They're in the Solanum genus of the nightshade family.
