Biryani Bombs are quite a twist & not forgetting a great treat especially when you have guests. It is basically biryani, rolled into a ball & then crumbed to perfection. It is also a great snack or something you can quickly whip up for lunch with left over biryani.
These bombs can be made from scratch, by preparing a fresh pot of biryani - but I find that way too long, rather just use any leftover biryani.
If you have leftover dhall (yellow split pea dhall/curried dhall) then add a little to the biryani. Mix well.
Next, roll the biryani into golf sized balls & set aside on a plate.
Dip the biryani balls into the bowl of flour batter.
Then drop the battered balls into the bowl of breadcrumbs.
Once all the balls are coated, set aside on a plate.
At this point, turn up the heat of the cooking oil to medium high & once the oil is sizzling, carefully drop in the bombs. Do not overcrowd the pot. Fry until golden.
Once golden, drain on a paper towel.
Plate & serve whilst hot.
I have served my biryani bombs with cucumber raita as a dip. The inside should be soft whilst the outside has a crunch. Can also be enjoyed as a starter.
