| has gloss | eng: Amba (, ) (Origin from Sanskrit for Mango) is a tangy mango pickle condiment popular in middle eastern cuisine particularly Iraqi and Israeli cuisines. It is also popular in India, where it originates, and is widely manufactured and bottled for the world market. The main differences between amba and achar are that amba has large pieces of mango rather than small cubes and that it uses more vinegar and no oil, and the pickle for the amba tends to be denser. Other than that, the two types of pickles are about the same. The ingredients in amba typically include mangoes, vinegar, salt, mustard, turmeric, and chili. Another important ingredient in amba is fenugreek, which gives it a distinct flavour and scent. It is the fenugreek in the amba which alters body odour following sufficient consumption. It is commonly as a side dish, or consumed with bread particularly by Iraqis, and is sometimes used, particularly in Israel, as a shawarma sandwich topping. |
