About RecipeScaler
RecipeScaler was born out of a simple frustration: Indian cooking ingredients don't match Western conversions. A cup of basmati rice equals 185g, while a cup of maida equals 125g. Generic recipe scalers simply don't work for Indian kitchens.
Our Mission
We're on a mission to make Indian cooking more accessible and accurate. Our tool provides:
- • Accurate gram ↔ cup ↔ tbsp conversions for 60+ Indian ingredients
- • Real-time recipe scaling from 1 to 1000 servings
- • Persistent shopping lists with localStorage support
- • Mobile-optimized interface for cooking on the go
- • Completely free, with no signup required
Why Indian-Specific Conversions Matter
Traditional Indian measurements can be confusing. Whether you're following age-old family recipes or modern digital cookbooks, our tool handles the complexity:
- • Rice varieties: Basmati (185g/cup), Brown rice (160g/cup), Sona Masoori (190g/cup)
- • Dals: Toor dal (200g/cup), Moong dal (180g/cup), Chana dal (190g/cup)
- • Flours: Atta/whole wheat (120g/cup), Maida/all-purpose (125g/cup), Besan/gram flour (92g/cup)
- • Spices: Turmeric (120g/cup), Red chili powder (50g/cup), Coriander powder (100g/cup)
Built for Indian Kitchens
Our design prioritizes Indian cooking workflows:
- • Bilingual support (Hindi ingredients transliterated alongside English)
- • Quick converters for common measurements (1 pav = 250g, 1 fist rice ≈ 30g)
- • Visual sliders and instant feedback for scaling recipes
- • Shopping list generation with persistent storage
Our Promise
RecipeScaler is committed to being 100% free and privacy-first. No email collection, no account required, just pure utility for your kitchen needs. We use Google Analytics only to understand general site usage (which pages are visited, how long users stay) — never to profile or sell your data. If we ever display third-party ads to keep the tool free, they will be clearly marked. We're continuously improving our database and features based on real Indian cooking needs.

Priya Sharma
Recipe Developer & Measurement Specialist — 18 years of Indian home-cooking experience
Priya has spent nearly two decades developing and testing recipes across Indian regional cuisines — Punjabi, South Indian, Bengali, and Gujarati. She has personally tested more than 200 recipes using the gram, cup, and tablespoon conversions on this site, from soft phulka rotis to dense besan ladoos, to make sure the density values actually hold up in a real kitchen. When a conversion doesn't work on the stove, she corrects it in our ingredient database so you don't have to guess.
