In tonight's episode when inmates were deciding on luxury budget items they had 50 points left and quickly ordered Ajwain as it costs 50 points rounding up their 1000 points. Miss Pratyusha walked out asking everyone what Ajwain is. So she doesnt know what Ajwain is.
Pls vote and comment if you know what Ajwain is.

No personal attacks please.

Bishop's weed / caraway seeds / carom seeds / thymol seeds.

I personally prefer carom seeds. In India, it's usually used as a digestive aid. It has a very pungent and sharp taste.

@Alaynestone and @PoojaBose
Ajwain is caraway seed which is mainly soaked in water overnight and drank for better digestion.

It is also used in cooking.

Oh, yes, my dear. It's very much used in Punjabi cooking. There's something called Ajwain Paratha, usually eaten with dahi-pudina chutney.

Ajwain soaked water is also available in market in bottles as a digestive.
It is very very famous in Bengal and it is also used to cook pakoras.

But Miss Prayusha who is a Bengali doesn't know what Ajwain is.
