    1. Pour the ryazhenka (fermented baked milk) into a pot, add the farmer's cheese and sugar, stir, and simmer over low heat for one hour, stirring now and then. Put the raisins in a bowl, cover with hot water, and leave for about 20 minutes to plump up and swell.
    1. Stir the salt and baking powder into the warm kefir. Sift the flour into a bowl, add the butter, and cut it in with a knife to fine crumbs. Now combine the flour mixture with the kefir and knead a soft, pliable dough. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 20 minutes.
    1. Hard-boil the eggs, peel them, and dice. Cook the rice in lightly salted water until fully done. Peel and dice the onion. Sauté the onion with the ground meat in vegetable oil for 5–7 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper.
    1. Divide the dough into two parts—one large, one smaller, in a 3:1 ratio. Roll out the larger piece thinly and fit it into a pan greased with vegetable oil. Spread a third of the rice over the base, then the simmered curd mixture (kurt), then more rice, a layer of ground meat, the chopped boiled eggs on top, and finally the rest of the rice and the raisins. Drizzle the filling with melted butter. Roll out the smaller piece of dough, lay it over the pie, and seal the edges.
    1. Crack the egg into a bowl, beat it with a fork, and brush it over the pie. Bake in an oven preheated to 350°F (180°C) for 50–55 minutes. Serve hot.
