In the recent episode of Celebrity MasterChef, Chef Ranveer Brar chopped onions with a blindfold. Do you think you can do that? While that’s a tricky rope to walk, you can still showcase your skills by cutting onions in various ways.

Julienne

Cut an onion into half, and remove the centre part. Now slice it into sticks. It is perfect for tossing with salads.

Slices

Without removing the smaller layers, thinly slice the onion. You can top it with lemon juice and serve it with meals.

Chopped

Cut the onion in half, and slice it length and widthwise. You can use the finely chopped vegetables to prepare gravy.

Rings

Cut the heads of an onion and peel off the skin. Use a sharp knife to cut it into rings. You can make crispy onion rings with it.

Diced

Cut an onion into half, slice it one more time and dice. The large chunks can be used for snacks like crispy corn.

Half Moon

When you cut an onion in half, run the knife straight. It will yield half moons instead of slices. They look prettier.
