Weigh your own mutthi

A closed-hand handful (mutthi) is not the same as an open-palm handful (chulu or lap). Fill your fist with rice, level it off with your thumb, and weigh it. Adult hands range from about 30 to 60 ml. Write the number down; it is the most useful measurement in an andaza kitchen.

Handful of herbs

A loose handful of chopped dhania or pudina weighs about 10 g; a packed handful of spinach about 30 g.
