what is ounce in urdu?

[Snowflake]

I used google translator and it gave me the word 'tandora'.

Is that the same as tawla? And what is maasa?

Thanks for your replies in advance.

As far as I know, they don't uses ounces as measurement in India/Pakistan.

If you want the word for ounce anyway, it'd be the English word Urdufied, like awnce, I guess.

In terms of grams, it's 28.3g, as Br 'Abd Al-Maajid said.

I found these old Pakistani measures here, if it helps at all:

1 Masha = 8 Ratti = 1 Gram
1 Tola = 12 Masha = 12 Gram
1 Chhatank = 5 Tola = 60 Gram (wrongly written as 160 in the source)
1 Pao = 4 Chhatank = 225 Gram
1 Ser = 4 Pao = 1 Kilogram
