Place the pumpkin in a heatproof bowl, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and microwave at 600W for 5 minutes.

Important Notes
💡 Allow the mixture to cool completely before shaping to make it easier to roll and prevent the croquettes from falling apart during frying.
⚠️ Using a batter mixture of egg, water, and flour ensures an even coating and a crispy finish.
