What it is
A traditional Kenyan dish where beef bones, often including knuckle bones or other bone-rich cuts, are slow-cooked and then pan-fried or dry-fried with a blend of spices, onions, and minimal tomatoes until flavorful and the marrow is tender.

Optional tweaks
Request minimal use of tomatoes and ensure no flour or thickening agents are added. Ask for generous cooking oil/rendered fat.
Watch out for
Excessive use of tomatoes or tomato paste, hidden sugar in spice blends, serving with high-carb sides.
