From being a crunchy accompaniment to meals to adding a burst of flavour to dishes, onion is one of the most versatile ingredients in our kitchens. A plate of dal-rice or roti-sabzi would be incomplete without some onion rings by the side. However, when it comes to cutting and preparing this vegetable, we often struggle quite a bit. Onions tend to emit a pungent odour and particles in the air which often causes tears or a burning sensation. So, if you want to quickly slice the onion into thin pieces, how should you go about it? A new viral video has shown how to make thin onion slices in a matter of minutes.
The video of the onion-slicing hack was posted on X (formerly known as Twitter) by an account named Today Years Old. In a matter of just 24 hours, it has already received over 17.5 million views and 147k likes. "I am so furious," read the caption. Take a look:
