Neeraj Chopra Discusses Cooking Journey and 'Namkeen Chawal'

Neeraj Chopra, a famous athlete, shared that he learned to cook because he moved away from home at a young age to train.

He started with basic cooking skills because he needed to eat healthy foods to support his training.

His favorite dish to make is called 'Namkeen Chawal,' a special rice dish similar to a vegetarian biryani, with desi ghee.

Initially, balancing training and cooking was hard, but he learned to manage.

Chopra encouraged others to learn life skills and become independent.

This helps to prepare for greater life challenges.
