  • These figures use the metric cup (250 ml). A US cup is slightly smaller at 240 ml, so it holds a little less. Use the US cup converter →
  • Cup sizes are not standard worldwide, so the same cup of an ingredient can weigh more or less depending on the country. What is a cup measurement →

Ghee is clarified butter with the water and milk solids cooked off, leaving a pure golden cooking fat with a high smoke point and a nutty flavour. One metric cup (250 ml) of ghee weighs around 218 grams or 7.69 ounces. When a recipe lists ghee in cups but you are spooning from a jar, converting by weight keeps the fat ratio right.

Ghee is sold by weight in jars but often called for by the cup or spoon in baking and curries. Soft or melted ghee packs into a cup differently, so weighing in grams gives a steadier result.

  • clarified butter
  • desi ghee
  • anhydrous milk fat

Related Ghee Ingredients

Butter is ghee before the water and milk solids are cooked off, so it is close in weight (227 g vs 218 g per cup) but lower in smoke point. Swap 1:1 by volume in most baking; ghee adds a nuttier flavour and browns faster. See what 1 ounce of butter is in cups.

Vegetable oil is a neutral liquid fat, almost the same weight as ghee (220 g vs 218 g per cup) but flavourless. It works in place of melted ghee for frying and moist cakes, though you lose ghee's nutty aroma. See what 1 ounce of vegetable oil is in cups.
