  • Wash, peel, and cut the pumpkin into small pieces. Boil it in a little water until tender, or steam it or cook it in a multicooker — the key is that the pumpkin turns soft. Let the cooked pumpkin cool slightly, then purée it in a blender, or mash it with a fork and press it through a sieve for a smooth consistency. Stir the ground cinnamon into the pumpkin purée. Mash the cottage cheese thoroughly with a fork, breaking up any lumps; for an even smoother result, press it through a sieve as well. Add sugar to taste and beat in the eggs. Mix everything until smooth. Combine the cottage cheese mixture with the pumpkin purée and stir well. For a thicker batter, add the semolina — you may need a little more or a little less depending on the fat content and consistency of your cottage cheese. Cover the batter with a clean towel and let it rest for about 20 minutes; during this time the semolina swells and the batter thickens and becomes airier. Rinse the raisins well under running water, then cover them with boiling water for 5-8 minutes so the dried berries plump up. Stir the raisins into the batter. Spread some flour on a large plate or a cutting board — you'll use it to coat the pancakes before frying. Now shape the syrniki: to make them easier to form, first wet your hands with cold water. Roll a ball with your hands and coat it in the flour, then flatten it on both sides and it's ready to fry. Pour vegetable oil into a skillet, heat it, and add the shaped pancakes. Fry on both sides until golden brown. Transfer the fried syrniki to several layers of paper towel to soak up the excess oil, then serve. Enjoy!
