Black to move. How should black proceed?

1. … Nd4
2. Qd3 Bb5
3. Qb1 Ne2+ winning the exchange.
or
3. … Nxb3 wins a knight. Is Black’s knight in a bad spot? It seems difficult to extricate, but there’s no easy attack on it either. White’s b2 bishop doesn’t have a good square to move to
What if 3.Qd1?
I like this Bb5 idea. Just think if the white king were on f1 in this line, it would be a pin. So one thing to think about is Nxf2 / Kxf2 Bxe3+ / Kf1 (or Rxe3 Qxe3+ / Kf1) Nd4…
… Nf2 then Nd4.
On 1… ♞f2 2.♔xf2is not playable.2…. ♝xe3+ 3.♔f1 (3.♖xe3 ♛xe3+ 4.♔f1 ♞d4 is devastating.) ♞d4
Yes, this does look best.
