Place a lid on top of the pan and cook until the mixture softens.
Remove from the heat and carefully, with a spoon, remove the whole spices and using a hand blender, blend the mixture until a paste forms.
Heat one tablespoon of butter in a pan, tip in the paste and add the chili powder, turmeric, tomato puree, garam masala, salt and 125ml of water.
Bring the mixture to the boil and simmer for half an hour while stirring occasionally.
Cut the cottage cheese in to small cubes and add to the mixture and gently stir while mixing in the cream. Serve with rice.
