Amba (Arabic عمبة, from the Sanskrit/Marathi āmba, "mango") is a tangy, mustard-yellow pickled-mango sauce of Iraqi and Baghdadi Jewish origin, built on unripe green mango cured in salt and vinegar and seasoned with fenugreek, turmeric, garlic and chilli. Pungent, sour and gently funky, it is thinned to a pourable relish and drizzled over sabich, falafel, shawarma and grilled fish — the defining sauce of the Iraqi-Israeli street-food table.
