How are you doing? Can brown sugar be substituted with just sugar or something else? Plz let me know.
WaAlaiKumAsSalaam Juveria, you can substitute brown sugar with equal quantities of white granulated sugar. However you might notice a slight difference in taste when you use white sugar instead of brown sugar.
