Ambakalyo, made up of two words amba (meaning mango) and murumbo (meaning relish) is a forgotten Parsi relish or chutney.
It is sweet, sour and delicious, whether had by the spoonful, slathered over a warm roti (chapatti), had along with Parsi style kathorr (lentils) or over simple dal and rice this lightly fragrant chutney or relish only requires half an afternoon and a handful of ingredients to create.

  • Start by melting the jaggery along with the water in a heavy bottomed vessel, once all the jaggery has melted add in the grated mangoes along with all the whole spices and pearl onions.

Notes

Traditionally the Ambakalyo is made with big slices of mango cheeks, I just prefer mine to be grated.
