Hi Radhika. Tried this loaf and it tastes amazing. Everybody liked. If we want to make it eggless can buttermilk or curd can be used nd in how much quantity. Thanks 🙂

Hi, I wanted to know where u get dark/light brown sugar in India?
Hi Ruchi! It’s easily available in supermarkets like natures basket, foodhall and modern bazaar. Look for brand like Tate and Lyle or infact, Mawana has some great sugars too. If you can’t find these, try your local grocery store and look for Solar brand. 🙂
