A spice ratio can be recorded without committing to one batch size. Two parts cumin, three parts coriander and one part chilli describe their relative masses. The Whatson Spice Mix Scaler turns an entered set of weight parts into a target gram batch.
The tool preserves the ratio you supply. It does not select a masala recipe or judge the flavour of the result.
Decide whether your original parts were masses
Use weight parts for this worksheet. If an original recipe used spoons, equal spoon counts do not establish equal ingredient masses. Resolve that measurement separately before treating the numbers as a weight ratio.
Each row has a spice name and a part quantity. Add the ingredients your actual blend contains, and remove rows that do not belong in it. At least one row needs a positive part value.
A 100 g demonstration blend
Enter a 100 g target with cumin at two parts, coriander at three and chilli at one. The total is six parts.
| Spice | Parts | Mass |
|---|---|---|
| Cumin | 2 | 33.333 g |
| Coriander | 3 | 50.000 g |
| Chilli | 1 | 16.667 g |
The checked calculation is target mass × ingredient parts ÷ total parts. The table also shows blend share: one third cumin, one half coriander and one sixth chilli before display rounding.
This short example is a ratio demonstration, not a complete commercial or regional masala formula.
Doubling the target leaves the ratio alone
A 200 g target doubles each mass without changing the part values. Changing coriander from three parts to four is a reformulation, not a simple batch size increase.
Keep those two actions separate in your notes. Otherwise a new ratio can be mistaken for a larger quantity of the old blend.
Ingredient handling still belongs to the recipe
The scaler does not distinguish whole and ground spices, processing losses or roasting methods. Enter names detailed enough to identify the products that belong to your recipe.
If your blend needs a processing allowance, account for that outside the target weighing schedule. The selected target is the combined mass of the entered rows; the tool has no hidden loss factor.
Use Recipe Cost Calculator to attach your own pack quotes, or Recipe Shopping List Planner to account for stock and pack purchases. Both need the actual quantities and consistent units.
Save the full list of part values with the batch result. A gram total alone cannot reconstruct the blend later.
