Kohl with sesame oil

  • When the oil burns, we notice the thick black powder residue on the copper plate, and these residues are the basis for the kohl.
  • We take half a spoonful of oil, and set it aside at the beginning, and pour it on the black residue point by point, then rub the residue and oil with a finger for a minute or two, and keep the thickness of the kohl as desired, and it is preferable for the thickness of the kohl to be like butter, because if it is light it will stain Easily, if thick, it will clump.
