Hi! The recipe looked good, but there are no measures! So how does one figure out how much of each ingredient?

Unfortunately in Bengali cooking, it's hard to give proper measurements...We're always taught in the guesstimate method...but up above, we've tried to give some measurements...hopefully it works out..
