3. cotton wick.

4. Almonds

6. Spoons.

Step 1: Get diyas, It should be a clay or mud oil lamp with a cotton wick soaked in ghee.

[Make sure it is clear of any paint or color it has to be a plain mud diya like the below to avoid any unwanted residues.]

If you can't get ghee you can replace it with sesame oil.

Step 2: While creating a wick you can either make a simple wick or use a wick with crushed almonds in it. while creating the wick insert the powdered/crushed almonds into the wick.

[Almonds can be added in 2 -3 ways make your choice according to your ease.  

2nd option is adding burned almonds [for this hold the almond over the flame and let it burn until black ] by crushing them into fine powder at the end.

 

Step 3: Now for the setup for the collection of the soot that will be accumulated at the bottom of the plate.

You have to place, the copper plate between 2 equal-sized containers any containers are okay and place the diya/diyas between them with the copper plate covering in to collect soot.

Step 4: Let it burn for 4-5 hours or overnight according to the amount you have to make add as many diyas as you want so as to collect as much soot as you can.

Do not touch the plate as soon as its flame goes off as you know It would be extremely hot. let it cool for a few minutes before taking the plate.

Step 5: Scrape off the soot using a Sharpe spoon and collect it in a container.
