Suspend keyword causing errror while inserting in room database kotin(android)

I am getting the following error when inserting in room database

This is my DAO

@Dao
interface FavDishDao {
    @Insert
    fun insertFavDishDetails(favDish: FavDish)
    @Query("SELECT * FROM FAV_DISHES_TABLE ORDER BY ID")
    fun getAllDishesList(): Flow<List<FavDish>>
}

I tried to remove the suspend keyword, the app was build but when I tried to save the data I got the following error

E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main
Process: pro.shivanshtariyal.recipeapp, PID: 5274
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot access database on the main thread since it may potentially lock the UI for a long period of time.

FavDish file

import androidx.room.ColumnInfo

import androidx.room.PrimaryKey

@Entity(tableName = "fav_dishes_table")
data class FavDish(
    @ColumnInfo val image: String,
    @ColumnInfo (name = "image_source") val imageSource: String, // Local or Online
    @ColumnInfo val title: String,
    @ColumnInfo val type: String,
    @ColumnInfo val category: String,
    @ColumnInfo val ingredients: String,
    // Specifies the name of the column in the table if you want it to be different from the name of the member variable.
    @ColumnInfo(name = "cooking_time") val cookingTime: String,
    @ColumnInfo(name = "instructions") val directionToCook: String,

You get the error because you are trying to write the database from the Main/UI thread. You must do it from another thread to avoid blocking the UI.

To fix this, you must create a coroutine scope and insert to the database from there.

If you are in Fragment or Activity, use the following pattern:

        lifecycleScope.launch {
            withContext(Dispatchers.IO) {
                insertFavDishDetails(favDish)
            }
        }

If you are in a ViewModel do the following:

        viewModelScope.launch {
            withContext(Dispatchers.IO) {
                insertFavDishDetails(favDish)
            }
        }
