The right way to measure dry ingredients like flours, sugar, rice, semolina or rava is to fill the cup or tablespoon to the brim and level it using the back edge of knife or spatula. You can change the measurement as per requirements like if it requires a heaped or scant accordingly.
Now ingredients like flour, cornstarch or besan vary a little in their measurements as that of the recipe requirement whereas when it comes to ingredients like granulated sugar and rava or rice and dals cannot vary much as they are not too much compressible. Whereas while measuring other foods like chopped vegetables or shredded cheese it will vary in large as it depends on the size.
