lasoon

An Indian cooking term for garlic, used widely across South Asian cuisines. The word is the Hindi/Urdu name for garlic and appears frequently in recipes, ingredient lists, and food-related conversation in South Asian communities globally.

The word is essentially a direct borrowing rather than slang — it's the standard regional word, not a colorful reimagining.
