Convert Basmati Rice from Tablespoon

Basmati Rice Measurement Converter

Use the tool below to convert basmati rice from Tablespoon to the measurement that you need.

A tablespoon here is the 15 ml metric standard, about 16.67 to a metric cup, the same size as a UK tablespoon. A US tablespoon is smaller at 14.79 ml, so US cooks measuring with US spoons need slightly more. An Australian tablespoon is larger at 20 ml, so it holds about a third more.

A little over or under won't ruin the bake, though it can nudge the final taste or colour.

Basmati is a long-grain rice with a distinctive floral fragrance, grown mainly in the Indian subcontinent. One metric cup (250 ml) of uncooked basmati rice weighs 200 g (7.05 oz). Use this converter when a recipe calls for cups and you want to weigh the rice, or when scaling a dish up or down.

Basmati's long, slender grains settle less uniformly in a cup than shorter varieties, so the same cup can hold more or less rice depending on how it was poured. Weighing in grams gives a consistent measure every time.
