BASIC INGREDIENTS
Gather the required ingredients, namely pure ghee, a small dish or a heat-resistant plate or container, cotton wicks or cotton roll.
PREPARE THE CONTAINER
Take the small, heat-resistant spoon or the small silver plate. Ensure it is clean and dry.
PREPARE THE WICK
Get a strip of cotton thread that is approximately two to three inches long. Ensure there is no dirt or any other substance on it.
SOAK AND WICK
Dip one end of the cotton wick in pure ghee until it is submerged properly. Place the soaked end of the wick in the container’s centre.
LET IT BURN
Use a matchstick or lighter to light the free end of the wick and allow it to burn. This will be soot when it burns itself.
COLLECT THE SOOT
To preserve the burnt wick from soot formation, hold a clean surface like a plate or inverted spoon over it while collecting the soot.
REPEAT IF NEEDED
The amount of dark kajal that you want is dependent on how many times you have to go through the process of acquiring soot particles.
COOL AND STORE
Wait for it to dry or cool down. Keep it in a smaller container, but make sure that it is clean and dry, like your kajal container or some other airtight container.
