Mix mayonnaise, horseradish, ketchup, paprika, cayenne, salt, oregano, and black pepper until combined. Refrigerate until needed.

Beat milk and egg in a bowl. Mix flour, salt, cayenne, paprika, black pepper, oregano, thyme, and cumin in another. Set aside.

Slice off top and bottom of the onion; remove the papery skin.

Core the onion’s center, leaving the root intact. Cut slits to create 16 sections while avoiding cutting through the bottom.

Separate onion petals. Optional: Plunge onion into boiling water briefly, then cold water.

Dip the onion in milk mixture, coat with flour mixture, then repeat to ensure even coating.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry onion cut-side up for about 10 minutes until golden brown.

Drain the fried onion on a rack or paper towels. Place dipping sauce bowl in the center and serve.
