2 large sweet onions -- unpeeled
1/2-cup mayonnaise
1/2-cup sour cream
1-tablespoon chili powder
2 1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasons
-- Divided 1 1/4 cups flour 1 cup milk oil for deep-fat frying
Leaving the root end intact, peel the outer skin of the onion. Cut a small slice off the top. Starting at the top of the onion and on one side, make a cut downward toward the root end, stopping 1/2 inch from the bottom. Make additional cuts 1/8 inch from the first until there are cuts completely across top of onion. Turn the onion a quarter turn so the slices are horizontal to you. Repeat the cuts 1/8 inch apart from each other until there is a checkerboard pattern across entire top of onion. In a small bowl, make dip by combining mayonnaise, sour cream, chili powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning. Mix well and set aside. In a 1-gallon plastic bag, combine flour and remaining Cajun seasoning. Place milk in a small bowl. Coat the cut onion in flour, then dip into milk and back into the flour mixture. Fry in enough oil to cover onion at 350^ for 5 minutes or until golden, turning once. Remove from oil; place on serving plate. Discard the very center of the fried onion blossom. Place a few spoonfuls of dip into the center of blossom and serve immediately.
