Method
Preparation
Sautéing the Base
In a large skillet or pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they are golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
Adding Garlic and Ginger
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Continue to sauté for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Cooking the Sauce
Incorporating Spices
Add the cumin seeds, coriander powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Adding Tomato Puree
Pour in the pureed tomatoes and mix well. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Finishing with Cream
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the sauce to simmer for an additional 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
