One Bengali dictionary translated \"radhani\" as \"Carum roxburghianum.\" The web site(http://www.treeandseeds.com/spices.htm) implies that radhuni and parsley are not same. It says, \"Carum roxburghianum: Extensively cultivated and eaten like parsley; the seed is also used in flavouring curry.\" Here \"eaten like parsley\" suggests that radhuni itself is not parsley.

Finally there are three choices for you as the english translation of \"randhani,\" which are \"Wild Celery,\" \"Ajmud\" or \"Randhuni.\"

\"Carum Roxburghianum from India is called Wild Celery as well as Ajmud or Randhuni.\"

Another website suggests that the English name is \"Ajmud\" and definitely it is not parsley.

\"English Name: Ajmud
Description: Rarely seen in these Islands is this dual purpose herb from India where it is there widely cultivated for its seeds which are used in curries, pickles and chutneys. The leaves can be used as an interesting alternative to parsley\".
