When you are ready to cook the butter chicken remove the tomato base from the fridge and put through a sieve into a pan. This removes any little bits of cardamom shells and seeds that did not get blended in the food processor.

Pour the sauce into a small pan and gently heat on the lowest setting for 10-15 minutes stirring often. Do not boil the butter chicken sauce or else the spices will not be as aromatic and the tomatoes will burn, take your time.
