Try the dhungar method. Heat a small piece of charcoal on an open flame until it's red hot, place it in a metal bowl, add a teaspoon of ghee, cover the bowl with the dish you want to smoke, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Voila, smoky deliciousness!
Honestly, just throw some charcoal over a flame, drop it in a bowl, and cover it. Easy peasy smoky squeezy.
I've done this many times! Heat a piece of charcoal until it's red hot. Then place it in a small metal bowl, pour a little ghee on top, and put this bowl in your dish (make sure the dish is covered tightly). Leave it for a few minutes, and you'll get that amazing smoky flavor.
