Column by Saba Mahjoor | The jinn that wasn’t
On a crisp spring afternoon, Phuphee and I were sitting on the verandah chatting after our lunch. She had rustled up a simple dish of pootche gande ti thool (spring onions and eggs) and served it with hot rice and roahane koadur aanchaar (a pickle made from the tender green stems of young garlic).She was telling me the recipe for pootche gande when the gate opened and a large party of people walked in. Before they reached the verandah, she called for Aisha, the household help, to bring the samovar, chinipyaale (small cups without handles) and some kulchas.The party was headed by an elderly gentleman who looked annoyed and angry.
