Instructions to make Carmen's Butter Chicken:

3. Place a large cooking pot on a stove set to medium-high heat. Pour in canola oil, and add in onions, ginger, and garlic once the oil is hot. Cover pot with lid, stirring occasionally until the onions turn translucent.
4. Add in coriander, cumin, turmeric, garam masala, cardamom, cinnamon, curry leaves, sugar, tomatoes, and a few pinches of salt and mix thoroughly. The tomatoes should prevent the mixture from becoming too dry, but if it does get too dry, add in some water.
5. Stir the mixture for a few minutes, and then pour it out of the cooking pot into a blender and blend until it turns into a creamy paste. Pour the paste back into the cooking pot, keeping the pot on low heat. Use a spoon or spatula to scoop out as much of the sauce as possible from the blender.
