Quick answers

1/4 cup of ghee is about 44 g, 1/3 cup is about 59 g, 1/2 cup is about 88 g, 2/3 cup is about 117 g, 3/4 cup is about 132 g and 1 cup is about 176 g (6.2 oz). One tablespoon is about 11.0 g and one teaspoon about 3.7 g.

Example: using ghee in a recipe

If a recipe asks for 1 1/2 cups of ghee, that is 1.5 x 176 g, or about 264 g. If a recipe gives 200 g and you only have cups, divide 200 by 176 to get about 1 1/8 cups.

How to measure ghee

Solid fats are easiest to measure by weight or by the markings on the wrapper. If you use a cup, press the ghee in firmly with no air gaps and level it. Melted or softened fat weighs the same, so measure it before you melt it unless the recipe says otherwise.

Where these weights come from

Weights follow the King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart (rounded). Brands and measuring methods vary, so treat results as close estimates.
