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. In Indian culinary contexts, garlic is a foundational ingredient, and 'lasoon' is the go-to term in Hindi-language kitchens and food media. The word is essentially a direct borrowing rather than slang — it's the standard regional word, not a colorful reimagining.
The recipe called for three cloves of lasoon, finely chopped and fried until golden.
