| 1. Wash the mangoes well and cut them up (including the peel) into slices the size of your pinky finger. | 2. Salt well and place the slices into a large jar. Close the jar and place it in a sunny spot for 4 to 5 days to release all the liquid in the fruit. At the end of this time the mangoes should be a very light, yellow color. | 3. Drain, saving the liquid. | 4. Allow the mango slices to dry, preferably in the sun, for 3 to 4 hours. | 5. Heat the 2 tablespoons of corn oil in a pot, and add all the ingredients up to (and not including) the garlic. Cook and constantly stir for a few seconds, until the spices begin to pop and make tiny explosive noises. | 6. Boil the mango liquid (you did remember to save it, didn't you?) and add this to the heated spice mixture. | 7. Add the mango and the chopped garlic. | 8. Stir, and continue cooking for 5 minutes on a low flame. Make sure the mixture does not dry out too much. | 9. Remove from the flame and let cool completely. | 10. Divide the mixture among 4 one-cup jars (which have been sterilized). | 11. Cover with the corn oil and seal. | 12. Amba is delicious with felafel, meat, fish, and even mixed into rice dishes. | 13. The amba will keep for at least six months. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
