Amba is rather like the Marmite of condiments in Israel; some people really object to it, while others (like me) love it. It’s not sweet like mango chutney, but instead is very sharp with a distinctive tang. Although I find it pretty addictive, it does need to be tempered with other flavours – the sweetness of the roasted vegetables and the savoury elements of the tahini work so well with it in this dish. You can pick it up easily in Middle Eastern grocers or Indian shops, or else you can buy a very similar Indian mango pickle in supermarkets.
