Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons sandalwood powder
- Small piece of muslin cloth
- ghee
- 3-4 almonds/ badam
- fork
- spoon
- Match stick
- Diya/ small clay lamp
Instructions
- To begin with, add a little water to the sandalwood powder and make a paste.
- Dip the muslin cloth in it and let it dry out in the sun.
- Roll the dried cloth to make the wick / bati.
- Place the prepared wick in the diya and add ghee to it.
- Light the lamp.
- Push a fork through the almond.
- Hold the fork such that almond is right above the flame. Hold the spoon just a centimeter above the almond.
- The flame will burn the almond and the soot will get collected in the spoon. This soot is Kajal.
- Another method is to place an inverted plate over two glasses. Light the lamp below the plate and burn the almond.
- Scrape the soot and collect it a small box.
- Dip your finger slightly in ghee and apply the kajal.
