Learn to cook turai ki sabzi (ridge gourd) from Actor Pankaj Tripathi

Bollywood's well-known actor Pankaj Tripathi is known for his brilliant acting and humble nature. But there is another side of him that not many people know about. His love for cooking and his deep respect for travel and culture. Recently, Pankaj Tripathi shared some interesting anecdotes about his life, his kitchen and the learnings from his quest to travel the world. Pankaj Tripathi grew up in a small village in Bihar, where food is simple but full of love. He remembers learning to cook from his family, especially 'turai ki sabzi', dal chawal and other traditional Bihari delicious but homely dishes. He says, 'I love cooking. I make turai ki sabzi very well. I just add salt, fenugreek seeds and turmeric to it - nothing else. I don't add too many spices. Over-spicing ridge gourd makes it lose its original flavour." For Pankaj, cooking is not about fancy ingredients, but about the magic of bringing out the true flavour of vegetables and grains. He believes that food prepared with care and simplicity is the most delicious. But Pankaj Tripathi's ideas go far beyond his kitchen. He feels that travelling is one of life's best teachers. "When you travel, you don't just see new places, you learn new ways of living and thinking," he said. "Travel is not just for entertainment. It helps you see the world in a new way. You realise how big and beautiful life is outside your home," he added. According to him, every city and every culture has its own music, its own style. When you spend time in a new place, you start looking at things differently and feel more sensitive towards others.

Pankaj Tripathi Inspires Youth Towards Art & Culture

Pankaj Tripathi also wants young people to experience art, music, and books. Pankaj believes that going to concerts, reading good stories and watching plays can change a person's life. He says that these experiences help you grow as a person. He says, 'These things make you more thoughtful and creative. They help you understand yourself and others better. It is like getting a ticket to know the truth of people's hearts.'

Pankaj Tripathi reminds us that life is not just about work and routine. Cooking a simple meal, traveling to a new place, or enjoying a song or story can refresh our minds and hearts.
