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.

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