Bohri Nalli Gosht

Marrow bones (nalli) slow-cooked in a thick, deeply spiced gravy of fried onion, whole spices, and yogurt until the marrow liquefies into the sauce — richer and more unctuous than the thin bohri shorba, eaten by breaking open the bones and scooping the marrow into the sauce with bread.
