Why Grams to Teaspoon Differs by Ingredient
A teaspoon is a unit of volume (~4.93 mL), whereas a gram is a unit of mass/weight. Therefore, 1 tsp of dense table salt weighs ~5.7g, whereas 1 tsp of airy powdered flour weighs only ~2.6g.

How Ghee Converter Works?
The Ghee Converter works by dividing grams of ghee by 4.45 g per US teaspoon. Ghee is almost pure butterfat, so ghee weighs 6% less per spoon than butter.
Melt or soften
Ghee is semi-solid at room temperature. Warm the jar for an even spoon fill.
Enter grams
Type the weight, such as 15 g for a tadka (tempering).
Level the spoon
Level soft ghee with a knife, or fill melted ghee to the rim.
Ghee Converter Formula
The Ghee Converter formula is teaspoons = grams of ghee ÷ 4.45.
tsp = g ÷ 4.45 | 1 tbsp = 13.35 g | 1 US cup ≈ 214 g
- 15 g of ghee ÷ 13.35 = 1.12 tbsp.
- 5 g of ghee ÷ 4.45 = 1.12 tsp.
- Butter-to-ghee swap: 100 g butter ≈ 80 g ghee (about 6 tbsp).

What is Ghee Converter?
The Ghee Converter is a calculator that converts grams of ghee into teaspoons and tablespoons. Ghee is clarified butter cooked until the milk solids brown, then strained, leaving about 99% fat.
Removing water and milk solids raises the smoke point to about 250 °C (482 °F), against 175 °C (350 °F) for butter. Indian cooking uses ghee for tempering spices, and the high smoke point suits searing. Ghee holds about 25% more fat per gram than butter.
What are the uses of Ghee Converter?
There are 4 main uses of the Ghee Converter: tadka and tempering, Indian sweets, searing and roasting, and butter swaps.
Tadka
Tempering spices for dal uses 10 g of ghee, about 2 ¼ tsp.
Indian sweets
Halwa and laddoo recipes list ghee in grams. 30 g equals 2 ¼ tbsp.
Searing
Searing scallops takes 15 g of ghee, about 1 tbsp.
Butter swaps
Swapping butter for ghee uses 80% of the butter weight.
