Soak the raisins in hot water for 5 minutes. Pour the homemade cottage cheese into a bowl and beat in the eggs. Add salt, sugar, baking soda, vanilla and raisins. Mix well. Add flour a little to the mixture and knead until it becomes a thick dough.
Preheat a frying pan, pour in vegetable oil. Make cutlet-shaped curd cakes out of the dough. Fry cheese cakes over medium heat until golden brown on one side for 3-4 minutes, and then on the other side. Home-style cheesecakes are ready. Serve the cheesecakes warm with sour cream, cream or honey.
