Cooking measurement converter
Recipes from blogs and YouTube mix cups, spoons, grams and ounces — and a cup of flour weighs very differently from a cup of sugar. This cooking converter turns cups to grams, grams to cups and spoons to grams for everyday Indian kitchen ingredients like atta, maida, besan, rava, rice, dal, ghee and sugar, plus baking staples like cocoa, butter and baking powder. The table shows the same amount in every common unit, and an oven chart converts °C, °F and gas marks.
How to use it
- Choose the ingredient.
- Enter the amount and its unit, then the unit you want.
- Read the result — or scan the table for every unit at once.

Example
A cake recipe asks for 250 g maida and 200 g sugar, but you only have cups. Maida weighs about 125 g per cup, so you need 2 cups; sugar is about 200 g per cup, so 1 cup. Scaling the recipe for more people? Use the recipe scaler, and convert other units with the unit converter.
