Hi, I am new with opencv and kinect so i would like to know if it is possible to detect and recognise hand gesture using kinect like open and close hand. i would want to know how to approach it with code

As far as I understand, you can't do that using OpenKinect in an easy way, because it only gives you the images data and not a higher level processing of it (i.e. the skeletons). However, the KinectPV2 library for Processing (Windows only) can give you access to the skeleton data and that includes the hand state. The SkeletonColor example show how to do it.
