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.
| 225F – 110C |
250F – 130C |
275F – 140C |
300F – 150C |
325F – 165C |
350F – 175C |
375F – 190C |
400F – 200C |
425F – 220C |
450F – 230C |
475F – 245C |
500F – 260C |
Cup Measurements:
Next we will deal with cup measurements. The cups shown below are those I use in my day to day cooking. There are 4 cups ranging from 1 cup to 1/4 cup. I will give the equivalent weight of cup measures so that you can easily convert my recipes. For every ingredient the weight varies for one cup. I am trying to give you the weight of most used ingredients below.
| 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
Hi Gayathri,
Can you please mention the cup measurement conversion for liquids too! Thanks for sharing amazing recipes.
Cheers,
PRatibha
If u have measuring cups it’s written on those cups how many ml does it holds
Hi Gayatri. Great recipes.
Do you have a closest substitute for yeast (even if not as effective?). Following Jainism, we don’t eat yeast
Just started following and am baking regular sandwich bread today. For today is used baking soda + lemon but am guessing you’ll know a closer substitute?
Hi, Thank you. For me only sourdough works as good as yeast and even the texture is the same. But I guess you don’t use sourdough also. You can try using baking powder, even though the rise and texture is good, it would be different from the texture of yeast breads. Please check my yeast free pav to get an idea. https://gayathriscookspot.com/2020/05/egg-free-pav-buns-without-yeast-video-recipe/
What is your cup measurement in ml
200ml
Hi .. mine is 240 ml so the measurement will differ from yours?my cake order is tmrw . Please help me
Yes, it will be different. Mine is 200 ml cup.
can you give ml to gram conversion for whole wheat flour?
hi Gayathri.
i was going through the above table where you have mentioned different items, like rice, dals, sugar and maida etc.. with cup measurements.. so i need some insight, in a cake when you write the maida is 1 cup does that mean we use 130 grams of maida or 200 grams of maida, as your standard cup measurement is 200 ml.. plz calerify.. thanks a lot..
Though the cup measure is 200 ml, one cup of maida weighs only 130 gm. Not 200 gm. Every ingredients varies in weight depending on their texture.
