Quick Rules for Indian Sweets
- 1 cup chini (white sugar) = 200g — the default for kheer and halwa
- 1 cup jaggery = 240g — heavier, so swap by weight, not by cup
- When substituting jaggery for sugar, use the same weight, not the same volume

How to Measure Correctly
Use the spoon-sweep method.Fluff the sugar with a spoon, scoop heaping, then level off with a straight edge. Never tap or pack unless a recipe says so — packed cups can add 15–20% more grams.
Weight beats volume for scaling.A cup can vary by 10–15% with how it is scooped. Use a kitchen scale for the gram amounts on this page whenever you double or halve a recipe.
Scoop sugar into a dry cup and level — never pack, or you add ~10%.
