Pour about 0.5 liters of vegetable oil into a thick-bottomed pan.
With flour-dusted hands, pinch off small pieces of dough and roll them into balls no bigger than walnuts (otherwise the dough may not bake). Drop the balls into the heated oil and fry until browned, turning occasionally.

You don't need to put a lot of redcurrants in the pan at the same time, as they increase in size considerably. Besides, if there is space, the redcakes will turn over by themselves in the oil after baking the bottom side. 
Serve ready redfish with sour cream, condensed milk, jam or eat them just like that.
Enjoy your appetite!
