If you can't find coconut palm sugar or simply prefer to use something else, here are some suitable alternatives: Brown Sugar: It has a similar color and slightly molasses flavor that can closely mimic the caramel-like taste of coconut palm sugar. Maple Syrup: It is a natural sweetener that can provide a unique flavor to the dish, although, like honey, it is a liquid and could affect the dish's consistency. Date Sugar: Made from dried dates, this sugar has a rich, slightly fruity flavor that can work well as an alternative. You can also use date paste. Agave Nectar: A liquid sweetener that's sweeter than sugar, so use less than the recipe calls for. Remember, when substituting, you might need to adjust the quantity to achieve your desired level of sweetness, and the consistency and flavor of your dish might slightly change.
