Nice work! Thanks for sharing this dish.
It sounds so spicy or hot. I'm afaid it may be too spicy for me, but it may be the favorite dish for those who enjoy spicy food.
Most of the time Bones are separated before serving.
Don't feel strange. These are very useful for those are suffering from arthritis (joint pain).
If nehari is made without bones it is cooked not of that taste as it is with bones.
Presently we are in USA. We went to the mall to buy beef for Nehari. The vender gave the beef without bones. My wife insisted to provide bones separately. We paid for the bones separately.
