Amba is a condiment that has its origins in Baghdadi Jewish cuisine). It is typically made of pickled green mangoes, vinegar, salt, turmeric, chili, and fenugreek. Amba is similar to savory mango chutneys and is frequently used in Iraqi cuisine as a spicy sauce to be added to fish dishes, falafel, kubbah, kebabs, and eggs). It is also popular in the western part of the Arabian Peninsula, where it is sold in sealed jars or by kilo and eaten with bread as part of nawashef type meals at breakfast or dinner in the Hejaz). Amba has become very popular in Israel since its introduction to the country by Iraqi Jews in the 1950s and 1960s. It is now one of the most common condiments in Israel, used as a condiment in sandwiches, as well as a topping for hummus and other mezzes). One difference with Israeli amba is that it is always made with unripe, green mangoes, which contribute to its more savory flavor as unripe mangoes taste less sweet).
Apart from the condiment, AMBA can also refer to the Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture, which is an open-standard, on-chip interconnect specification for the connection and management of components in a system-on-a-chip.
