To that pot add in 2tb of butter till melteded then add in your can of peeled plum tomatoes and scrap up all them good burnt bits at the bottom (yummy).
To your bubbling tomatoes add in 1/2 a cup of water along with 1/2tb of cumin powder, 1/2tb of garam masala and more butter if you want :)
Let your buttery tomato sauce simmer away on low heat for 2-3 minutes till the tomatoes are soft. Transfer the sauce into a blender and blend till smooth, then transfer back into the pot.
Add in 1 cup of double cream mix well then drop in your little nuggets of chicken and mix well making sure it is well coated.
Let the whole mixture simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes.
Season to taste with some salt or some more butter, you can never add too much butter to this dish. YAY BUTTER!
As you enjoy this dish try not to think about the amount of butter you have added to this. Enjoyed well with some naan or some plain white rice.
