Karan Aujla is usually in the spotlight for his music. He is the Punjabi singer-rapper who dominates charts, packs arenas, and turns every release into an anthem. But on the latest episode of Curly Tales’ Sunday Brunch with Kamiya Jani, the spotlight shifted. What unfolded was less about celebrity glamour and more about food, memory, and the kind of love that stays with you.
Karan Aujla Talks About His Mother’s Food
The meal started with a laugh. Karan Aujla, talking about chole bhature, confessed that his upper limit is “two, maybe three.” From there, the conversation wandered into paratha territory, and suddenly the mood softened. He admitted he can devour four parathas at once, but what mattered wasn’t the number, it was the memory.
His late mother, he shared, made gobi and paneer parathas that were unbeatable. Aloo parathas? “They’re nice,” he shrugged, but his tone could tell this was the ordinary, overhyped answer he wasn’t going to give. What he really loved were those cauliflower-stuffed ones, layered with warmth. Asked if he remembers the taste, Karan Aujla paused for a beat. “Not the exact taste,” he said quietly. “But the feels… those I remember.”

His Favourite Dishes Revealed
That one line lingered in the air. And then, as though sifting through a mental recipe book, he added two more of her signatures: bhindi (okra) and arbi (colocasia). They were plain, dry sabzis, nothing fancy, but they were his favourites. Aujla called them his mother’s best sukhi sabzis, and for a moment, the episode stopped being about food altogether. It was about love stitched into everyday meals.
And yet, on the table in front of him, it was Bombay all the way. True to the show’s tradition, we laid out a spread that screamed Mumbai street food: misal pav, vada pav, bhel puri, and aloo tikki chaat. It was spicy, tangy, and greasy, with every bite a reminder of the city’s energy. They served a sharp yet beautiful contrast to the earthy simplicity of his Punjabi kitchen memories.
The conversation moved effortlessly between spicy chhole bhature and the irreplaceable touch of a mother’s hand.
