Probably because Jains don't cook with aliums

The article says that people who eat a lot of garlic smell better than without it.

(Although maybe not their breath. Last time I was in Japan I tried an iekei ramen place and smelled so much like garlic to myself I was too embarrassed to go outside for the next day or two.)

IIRC the lingering curry cooking smell is from fenugreek.
