Drain the curd cheese in two layers of cheesecloth for 10 minutes and mash with a fork until smoother.
Add the egg, sugar, salt, and vanilla to the drained cheese; add flour to make a soft dough that does not stick to the hand.
Flour your palm and shape the dough into 8 small disks, keeping each 1.5 cm thick.
Heat the oil in a wide pan over medium-low heat and cook the disks for 4 minutes until the first side is golden.
Turn the disks and brown the other side for 4 minutes more; transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil.
Plate them, spoon sour cream on top, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Drain the curd cheese before mixing; the cakes brown without spreading.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with sour cream and powdered sugar.
