Can I propose to my cousin (my mother's brother's daughter) after my brother had proposed to her previously?

There is no impediment to proposing to your maternal aunt's daughter after your brother has proposed to her, as long as she has not accepted the proposal. This is because the religiously prohibited "proposal over a proposal" occurs only when the woman has accepted the suitor.
