Curried Risotto Balls are tasty little morsels are a fantastic way to use up any leftover risotto you might have.
Whenever I make risotto I know I always use way too much and end up eating it for days after. So this is a great way to use up that risotto in a delicious way.
We used leftover Green Curry Risotto to make our Curried Risotto Balls, but you can use whatever flavour you have also.
