Can I shake or tap the cup to settle Turmeric, ground?

No — tapping compacts the grain and adds weight. Fill gently and level without shaking for accurate readings.

Can I swap Turmeric, ground for a different granulation without changing the gram count?

By weight the conversion is unchanged — a gram is a gram. Volume readings do shift, so match granulation if a recipe specifies cups.
