    Dear Sangeeta
    I knew the Oriya name. It is a thick leaf plant and my mom used to make a single leaf pakoda with a thin Atta batter. Let me try to remember the name..it is not Ajwain for sure.

    Dear Sangeeta
    Sorry , this is not the plant I mentioned earlier, it looked similar but different.
    The closest I can guess, is Stevia, but not sure. Let me know once the quiz is over

    Not confirm about flowers, never seen, but leaves are like those of ajwain, we use to prepare pakodis of it.

    Oh my God ... Ajwain seems to be a favorite herb of so may people .

    The right answer is Stevea , the natural sweetener . I am growing this sweet plant for some years now and this is the first time it flowered . Will share some of the ways i use these leaves . Actually the best way to use Stevea is the fresh leaves i guess , the processed extracts just don't taste as good.
