I need help with food measuring. I have a recipe in Pao and kilograms.
I find easiest to work in cups or oz. Can someone please help me with this.
Re: Measurement Conversions - Food
The basic unit is called a ser سیر, which equals two pounds.
One-fourth of a *ser is *called a pao پاؤ,and it equals one-half pound.
A ser is divided into 16 chhataank چھٹانک. (Thus, four chhataank equals one pao)
A chhataank, which equals two ounces, is divided into five tole تولے.
A tola is divided into 12 masha ماشہ.
A masha equals eight rattiyan رتیاں.
A ratti is described as “the weight of eight barley corns,” and it is used mostly by jewelers, and not in recipes.

Re: Measurement Conversions - Food
^ the take home message was 1 pao = 1/2 pound..
Re: Measurement Conversions - Food
Yes!
1 ser = 32oz
1 pao = 8oz
1 chhataank = 2oz
