Hi Guys, this summer my mother taught me how to make Kajal/ Kohl like the old traditional way. It was fascinating to see how it is done!
You will need:
•A bell metal plate ( It is a form of bronze with a higher tin content) also known as Kansa plate with upward edges (Kansa is considered to be the healing metal of Ayurveda)
• Container
•Pure almond oil
•Cotton ( used to light clay Diya)
•Mustard oil (Sarso ka tel )
•Spoon
•Pestle & Mortar (for crushing the almonds)
•Matchstick or Lighter
•Crush 5 almonds using pestle and mortar, Make a cotton pad as shown in the video and put the crushed almonds
•Add 2 spoons of Carom (Ajwain) and close the cotton pad. Fill mustard oil in the clay diya to 1/4th capacity.
•Transfer the cotton roll to the clay diya to immerse in the mustard oil, Once it all soaked in add more oil to the clay diya and light it.
•Use three, pillar-shaped containers to support the bell metal plate on top of the diya.
•The plate should be high enough to not completely put off the diya light and it should be close enough for the diya fire to deposit the black ink. you can see the fire lapping at the Kansa plate making it black.
•Wait until the entire mustard oil is exhausted. The black ash collected is the kajal/kohl. Collect it using a spoon and keep it in a small box.
Take a small amount almond oil and mix it into the collected black powder. Store in a cool place.
•You can use the powder for eyeshadow it will prevent the kajal from smudging. Make sure you keep it in a pan so that it is easy to take the product using a flat brush.
