A small seed similar in appearance to caraway seeds that is used as a spice in Indian and Middle Eastern cooking.

It is often mixed into vegetables dishes, fish dishes, dals, chutneys, curry dishes, and breads. It is also a common ingredient in some varieties of Garam Masala. Ajwain seed may also be referred to as bishop's weed, carum capticum, carom seed, ajowan, ajwon, or ajwan.
