A metric cup (250 ml, used in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and many Indian recipes) holds about 6% more than a US cup.
Spoon the flour into the cup and level it with a knife. Scooping straight from the bag packs it down and can add 20–30% more.
Coarse Indian sooji (rava) for upma is about the same weight; fine semolina flour packs slightly more.
Also called: sooji, rava.
Weights are for a level US cup (236.6 ml) and level spoons, from King Arthur Baking's ingredient weight chart. Brands and packing vary by a few per cent; when a recipe gives grams, weigh rather than measure.
1 level US cup of semolina weighs about 163 g (5.7 oz). A 250 ml metric cup weighs about 172 g.
1 level tablespoon of semolina is about 10 g, and 1 teaspoon is about 3.4 g.
100 g of semolina is about 0.61 cups, or 9.8 tablespoons.
A cup measures volume, not weight. Semolina is full of air between the particles, so a cup weighs much less than a cup of water (163 g vs 237 g).
