Rice Conversion Calculator FAQ
Everything you need to know about measuring and converting basmati rice for perfect results every time.
One standard US cup of uncooked basmati rice weighs approximately 190 grams. If the rice is already cooked, one cup weighs roughly 200 grams due to water absorption and changes in density.
Yes, significantly. Uncooked basmati rice absorbs about 2 to 2.5 times its weight in water during cooking. Therefore, 190 grams (1 cup) of uncooked basmati rice will yield approximately 500 to 570 grams (about 3 cups) of cooked rice.
Use a standard dry measuring cup. Spoon the uncooked rice into the cup gently and level it off with the back of a knife. Do not pack or shake the rice down, as this will result in an inaccurate, heavier measurement. For best results, a digital kitchen scale is highly recommended.
By weight, the ideal ratio for cooking fluffy basmati rice is typically 1:1.5 or 1:1.75 (rice to water). For example, 190 grams of uncooked basmati rice requires about 285 to 330 grams (or ml) of water. Always rinse the rice first to remove excess surface starch.
