How to measure ghee
How full the cup is and how firmly it is packed changes what it holds, so the same cup can weigh a little more or less in your kitchen. A scale gives the same result every time; the chart below converts any amount.
Source: 205 grams per US cup is the cup weight in USDA FoodData Central, entry “USDA FDC 173412 SR Legacy, Butter oil, anhydrous, 1 cup = 205 g”. A US cup is about 237 milliliters.
