Basmati Rice (Uncooked): Grams to Cups

Convert grams of uncooked basmati rice to cups. 1 US cup = 180g. Basmati is a long-grain aromatic rice from India and Pakistan, known for its elongated grains and distinctive nutty aroma.

Basmati rice is typically aged for 1-2 years before sale, which reduces moisture content and contributes to its lighter, drier texture. This slightly lower moisture content gives it a slightly lower cup weight (180g) than jasmine rice (185g).

Basmati Rice (Uncooked) — Frequently Asked Questions

180 grams of uncooked basmati rice is exactly 1 US cup.
Yes. Rinse basmati rice 2-3 times in cold water until the water runs clear. Rinsing removes excess starch and results in fluffier, more separate grains when cooked.
Use 1.5 to 1.75 cups of water per 1 cup of basmati rice. Soak the rice in cold water for 30 minutes first for even better results.
1 cup (180g) of dry basmati rice yields approximately 3 cups of cooked rice (about 360-380g), as basmati grains elongate significantly during cooking.
Basmati is aged before sale, which reduces moisture content in the raw grain. This lower moisture makes it slightly drier and lighter at 180g per cup vs 185g for jasmine rice.
