Weights are for a level US cup (236.6 ml) and level spoons, from USDA FoodData Central household measures. Brands and packing vary by a few per cent; when a recipe gives grams, weigh rather than measure.
1 level US cup of lentils / dal (dry) weighs about 192 g (6.8 oz). A 250 ml metric cup weighs about 203 g.
1 level tablespoon of lentils / dal (dry) is about 12 g, and 1 teaspoon is about 4 g.
100 g of lentils / dal (dry) is about 0.52 cups, or 8.3 tablespoons.
A cup measures volume, not weight. Lentils / Dal (dry) is full of air between the particles, so a cup weighs much less than a cup of water (192 g vs 237 g).
