An ambarella should be treated like a mango while cutting and you have to watch out for its big hairy pit. Since the fruit is no larger than an egg, it is quite possible to eat the fruit out of hand. Be mindful of the oblong pit in the middle part.
If you've bought ambarellas that needs further ripening you can have them stored at room temperature. In a week's time it will be ripen. When kept in the refrigerator, it will come for weeks.
Even if the taste will not be negatively unnatural, be expecting the fruits to drop their golden luster at some stage in cool storage. Before consuming it, make sure that the fruit sits at room temperature for an hour: they will have a more full-bodied savor profile compared to cold fruits.
Note- Do not chill the fruits below 5C.
