What happens when you take a city known for its unapologetic flavours and pair it with the YouTuber Kapil Kanupriya, who lives by “koi bhi tension hai hi nahin Kanpur ke logon mein”? You get a Tere Gully Mein episode that’s equal parts food trail, nostalgia, and a comedy show in disguise.
Kapil Kanupriya Takes Us On A Kanpur Food Trail
This time, Curly Tales walked through the streets of Kanpur with Kapil Kanupriya. He is a content creator, entertainer, and storyteller who has carved a loyal space for himself on YouTube. If his videos are all about humour and relatability, his company on this food trail was about honesty, warmth, and a lot of laughter.
The morning began the way Kanpur insists it should, with Rajkumar Special Chole Bhature. The bhature came out puffed and proud and the chole fiery enough to wake up anyone still half-asleep. Then came Pappu ke samosey, which come with a sweet layer of chaashni. One bite in, Kapil couldn’t resist recalling how he used to visit there in his job days and enjoyably eat aloo samosas.
From there, things got sweeter, literally. Thaggu ke Laddu, with its famous cheeky slogan (“Aisa koi saga nahi, jisko humne thaga nahi”), was the next stop. The laddus didn’t just melt in the mouth; they melted into conversation, jokes, and stories of growing up in Kanpur.
And then came dessert with a scandalous reputation, the Badnaam Kulfi. Cold, creamy, and notorious for being irresistible, the kulfi was every bit as “badnaam” as promised. Just when it felt like nothing could top that, Kapil introduced the final stop: Malai Chai with Bun Maska.
All Things Kanpur With Kapil
Between bites and sips, Kapil let viewers peek into his journey. He admitted that he once gave himself just two years to prove himself on YouTube, a gamble that not only worked but turned him into one of the internet’s most relatable voices.
Of course, no episode is complete without some personal revelations. With his trademark wit, Kapil claimed, “koi love story hai hi nahi.” He revealed that his parents casually dropped a WhatsApp card announcing his tilak in just three days. What followed was a charmingly old-school romance, the kind that feels wholesome on its own.
The fun didn’t end with food or stories. Kapil gamely jumped into a round of Kanpuriya slang challenges and a fast-paced ‘This or That,’ proving that his humour is as quick as his appetite.
By the end, the episode had everything from spicy chole, melt-in-the-mouth laddus, a “badnaam” dessert, frothy malai chai, and a guest who turned a food trail into a full-on entertainment ride. With Kapil Kanupriya as the guide, this Tere Gully Mein wasn’t just about what Kanpur eats; it was about how Kanpur lives.
