How to use the Ghee / Oil Per Kg Rice Calculator

Greasy, clumped biryani almost always means the oil was eyeballed. This how much ghee per kg rice biryani pulao calculator gives the precise fat quantity per kilogram of rice for biryani, pulao, fried rice, and plain white rice — in millilitres and in desi cups. The right amount coats every grain for that separate, glossy finish without pooling at the bottom of the daig.

  2. Select the dish style — biryani uses the most fat, plain rice the least.
  3. Click Calculate to see the ghee/oil in ml and in desi cups.
  4. Heat the fat and brown your onions/masala in it before layering the rice.

Formula

Fat (ml) = rice (kg) × ml per kg for the dish: biryani 90, pulao 70, fried rice 60, plain rice 40. Desi cups = ml ÷ 200. Example: 3 kg biryani rice → 3 × 90 = 270 ml ≈ 1.4 desi cups.

Worked example

For 2 kg of chicken biryani rice: 2 × 90 = 180 ml of oil/ghee — just under one desi cup. The same 2 kg as pulao needs 140 ml, and as plain white rice only 80 ml. A 5 kg daig of biryani takes 450 ml (about 2.25 cups) — far less than most cooks pour by eye.
