Slow cooker question

I often add some grated butternut squash to curries for a bit of sweetness as I often don't use a whole butternut squash so it's easy to just freeze some from any that I use.  I usually add about 150g per 4 servings.

I do my veggie Bolognese in the slow cooker. I used to have a sear and stew (i.e. could put the inner bit on the hob to brown onions) but now I only have my granny's 70s/80s SC so I just lob stuff in.

I do:
2 small onions, diced

2 garlic cloves, crushed

2 ribs of celery, diced

2 carrots, diced

Handful mushrooms, sliced

1/2 mug dried red lentils

A glug of olive oil

1 tin tomatoes

A small glass red wine (optional) - I buy the cheapest Tesco one once in a while and freeze it in jars just for spag bol (or water if not using)

1 veggie stock cube

1 heaped TSP dried basil or oregano

0.5 TSP dried thyme

1 bay leaf

I shove everything in and cook on low from breakfast to dinner then serve with spaghetti (obviously!)

What's half a mug in grams?
