First, the chef showcased how she holds the knife – thumb and index finger on the bolster, while the remaining hand is used to make a “firm grip” on the tang. Pankaj Bhadouria also mentioned that many people place all their fingers and thumb on the tang, but this position, as per the chef, may cause wrist injuries. 

“But before we begin chopping, let’s secure our chopping board place,” Pankaj Bhadouria said, as she gives an unmissable tip to smoothly cut vegetables on a chopping board. 

Does your chopping board lack balance? This is another common problem people face in the kitchen. Pankaj Bhadouria has a solution for this as well. Place a damp tissue beneath the chopping board and its position will be secured. 

To chop the vegetables with utmost ease, and prevent your hands from bearing the brunt, you need to get the claw in place. Hold your vegetable in a claw, and use your knuckles to guide the knife. Warning: Don’t lift your knife above your knuckles while chopping or you may hurt your fingers. 

The chef further showcases how she easily chops onions, tomatoes, as well as potatoes with her claw technique.
