Different people use different measures.
Common measurements used for cooking

1 Uzhakku          =   1 Cup

1 Tumbler           =   1 Cup(200ml)

1 Big Kuzhi         =   approx. 1/4 cup ( slightly less
Karandi ( ladle )          than 1/4 Cup )

1 Small Kuzhi      =  approx. 1 Table spoon ( Tblsp ) 
Karandi( ladle )

1 Spoon              =   1 Tsp
