Crumble the khaman
Using clean hands or a fork, crumble the leftover moong methi khaman finely.
Sprinkle 2–3 tbsp water and mix lightly to soften if it feels dry.

Add sesame seeds and let them splutter.
Ad curry leaves, green chillies, and ginger. Sauté briefly.
Add crumbled khaman
Add the crumbled khaman to the tempering.

Add salt (if required), sugar (optional), and lemon juice.
Mix well and switch off the flame.

🌟 Tips
Sev khamani tastes best lukewarm
If khaman is already tangy, reduce lemon juice
Adding a little fresh green chilli paste enhances flavour
Avoid adding too much water; texture should be crumbly, not mushy
