Details
"A charred, smoky shell that snaps into a soft, dusty, cement-and-petrichor crumble."
Black Barbecue Balls are bold, smoky Indian clay spheres crafted from a blend of deeply roasted Nakumatt varieties — Full Roasted, Half Roasted, Smokey Nakumatt and Juhu — rolled in a coarse Dryfruit, Black Star, Blackhall and Magmitti paste and finished with a black candy clay dust coating. The result is a layered, intensely flavoured treat: a charred outer shell giving way to a soft, crumbly interior, carrying waves of overfire smoke, warm cement and that familiar rain-on-hot-road aroma when dampened.
