You can steam the onion in water or sometime hot water adding ice. Now, keep the onion on the cutting board just cut in half first. Place it flat on the cutting board and start slitting it. Always make sure that you don't cut the end part of the onion. Always slit it from the front part. Afterwards, give a vertical cut from the onion. Turnaround the onion and start slicing it. If the onion is big slice it from one part first and from the other next time. You will find a finely chopped onion as a final product."
