Instructions
- 1
Step 1
To prepare the Tatar pie dough, start mixing it in a blender. For this, place 2 tablespoons of sour cream, 3 eggs, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of sugar into the blender container. Beat the mixture until smooth.

Step 3
Sift the flour into a bowl, add the baking powder, then pour in the mixture and knead the dough. The dough will be quite firm, similar in consistency to pizza dough.

Step 4
Cover the dough with a towel. Let it rest. While the dough is resting (10–15 minutes), prepare the filling. For the filling, peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes. Large pieces won't cook through properly.

Step 5
Cut the chicken or turkey meat into small pieces and add to the potatoes. Finely chop the onion and garlic. Add to the meat.

Step 6
Divide the dough into 3 parts (a large one, a medium one, and a very small one). Use the large part to shape the bottom crust of the pie. Use the medium part to make the lid, and the small part to form the handle of the pie. The handle will prevent water from leaking out of the pie, while still allowing steam to escape.

Step 7
Line the baking pan with parchment paper. Roll out the large ball of dough into a sheet about 2 mm thick. Place it into the pan. It is important not to tear the dough so that the filling and broth don't leak out. Carefully arrange the dough in the pan.

Step 8
Add spices and salt to the filling. Mix well. Transfer the filling to a baking dish, spread it evenly, and pour in 1 cup of broth. Use chicken or meat broth; if unavailable, take 1 cup of water, add 1 tablespoon of cold butter and a pinch of salt. Heat in the microwave for 1 minute until the butter melts and the salt dissolves. Stir. Pour this liquid over the filling.

Step 9
Roll out the middle part of the dough into a sheet. Cover the filling with it and seal the edges of the bottom and top dough layers. Trim off the excess.

Step 10
Make a steam vent cut in the center of the pie (in the lid). From the remaining small ball of dough, shape a knob-plug for the hole. Place it directly over the opening.

Step 11
Place the pie in a preheated oven at 180 degrees and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the pie from the oven. Carefully take out the central ball of dough. Return the pie to the oven and bake for another 1.5 hours, checking it occasionally. The pie should develop a golden, even crust. 15 minutes before the end of baking, put the removed dough ball back in its place and finish baking the pie.
