Heat butter in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add onion; cook for 5 minutes or until golden. Stir in garlic, ginger, garam masala, paprika, turmeric, salt and cayenne pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add tomatoes and the cashew cream; simmer, stirring often for 8 minutes or until thickened.
