Convert Ghee from Tablespoon

Ghee Measurement Converter

Use the tool below to convert ghee 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.

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.

Also known as

clarified butter
desi ghee
anhydrous milk fat

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 our Butter converter.

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 our Vegetable Oil converter.
