"L.G. Kaayam" is a Tamil term that refers to "asafoetida" in English. Asafoetida is a resin obtained from the sap of the roots and stem of certain species of Ferula, a perennial herb native to Iran and Afghanistan. It is commonly used as a spice in cooking, especially in Indian cuisine.
Asafoetida has a strong and pungent aroma, often described as sulfurous or reminiscent of garlic and onions. Despite its strong smell, when used in small quantities during cooking, it adds a savory umami flavor to dishes. Asafoetida is typically used as a flavor enhancer and digestive aid in vegetarian and lentil-based dishes.
