Measurements

This chart will help you in converting recipe measurements according to your preference. I have given temperature chart, cups and weight chart and teaspoons and weight chart for your use.

Temperature Chart:

First we will deal with Oven Temperatures. In India, you can see ovens marked with Celsius whereas while reading recipes from US bloggers, I come across temperature in Fahrenheit. This conversion chart can be used while converting temperatures. I usually give recipes with Celsius. So if you want to see what it is in Fahrenheit, please go through the chart.                      

  

Cup Measurement (1 cup)	Weight in Grams
Sugar	220
Besan	140
Flour/ Maida	130
Sooji/ Rava	170
Moong Dhal	200
Peanuts	160
Roasted Gram	120
Channa Dhal	180
Toor Dhal	200
Urad Dhal	210
Rice	210
Rice Flour	120
Quick Cooking Oats	100
Butter	200

Teaspoons and Tablespoons:

Teaspoons and tablespoons also form an important part of measuring equipment. Usually oil, salt, baking powder, honey and baking soda are measured using spoons. There is a basic formula used in calculating the grams.

1 Teaspoon ————-5 gm

2 Teaspoons———-10 gm

3 Teaspoons————–15 gm

1 Table spoon —————–3 teaspoons

1 Table Spoon—————-15 gm

Teaspoon is usually referred as tsp and Table spoon is referred as tbs in my recipes. Using this chart you can always convert the given tsp and tbs measurements to gm.

Measuring Jar: 

Having a measuring jar in the kitchen is useful in many ways. Measuring liquids is very easy when you have a jar. This jar measures up to a litre which is equal to 5 cups. Measuring milk, water and cream for baking is easier when you have this. But if you have only cups then 1 cup of any liquid equals 200 ml. You need to calculate accordingly.

Hope this post is useful for following my recipes. If you have any doubt regarding any thing related to cooking please leave me a comment or mail me to gayathriraani@gmail.com
