- Saving money: Making kayal at home is much cheaper than buying a ready-made product.
Ingredients:

- 2 teaspoons of castor oil
- A small piece of camphor
- 1 teaspoon of ghee

- Small metal or clay bowl
Instructions:
- Prepare the ingredients: Mix the almond and castor oils in a small bowl. These oils will be the base for your kayal.

- Mix the ingredients: When the soot is ready, extinguish the fire and carefully scrape the soot into a clean container. Add the ghee and mix thoroughly to make a smooth paste.
