Whenever we think of an actor who's got class, experience, craft, and swag, we cannot think of anyone else but Jackie Shroff. His incredible performances have time and again proved that there's no other actor like him. Apna Bhidu turns a year older today.

We love how the Ram Lakhan actor is so unserious, unbothered, and always striving to stay quirky. His interactions with the fans and paparazzi are thoroughly entertaining. Basically, he is the OG definition of being cool.

Apart from being a spectacular actor, Jackie Shroff is also fond of cooking. Trying new and simple recipes with the fewest ingredients is his forte. Be it experimenting with eggs for breakfast or making okra with a little bit of twist, he is always up for cooking up a storm.


In several of his interviews, Shroff has mentioned some delicious recipes that took the internet by storm. While chefs on Instagram tried it out, let's walk you through some must-try dishes that will leave you salivating.

1. Bhindi Fry

Adding a pinch of humor when explaining the dish, Jackie says, "Sabse pehle kande ko katne ka chaukandi. Chaukandi matlab cube." This became one of the most iconic lines from his recipe video.

He then goes on to add equal parts of okra and onions to heated oil in a pan and leaves it as it is without stirring. Add a garlic clove, some salt to taste, and let it cook. There you have your Jackie Shroff special Bhindi fry ready.

2. Anda Kadi Patta

While some of you may already cringe at Kadi Patta, Apna Bhidu swears by it. Start by breaking the eggs and separating the yolks. Do not whisk the white. Now, in a heated pan, add some oil, curry leaves, and a slit of green chili.

Take another pan and put the egg white in it. Add the curry leaf mix on top and sprinkle some salt. Flip it and enjoy!

3. Baingan Ka Bharta

If you feel this dish will take forever to cook, wait until you try Jackie Shroff's viral recipe. All you need to do is cut a brinjal, add garlic cloves, and add green chili to it. Start by roasting it on a gas burner.

Once roasted, peel off the skin, smash it, and add some mustard oil and salt to it. The Devdas actor also suggests eating it with roti and smashed onions.

4. Bhopla Ki Sabzi

For those who are confused reading the name, Bhopla means pumpkin. Apna Bhidu once shared the recipe for Bhopla Ki Sabzi with director-choreographer Farah Khan. However, before you start cooking this up, here's a pro tip from the actor: make sure to cut your nails neatly.

Begin by cutting the pumpkin into cubes. In a pan, add some oil, cut pumpkin, fennel seeds, cumin, green chillies, curry leaves, and salt. Cover it and let it cook without stirring it. And voila, you have an impeccable dish ready in minutes.

Radio City wishes Jackie Shroff a very happy birthday.
