In a heavy bottomed pan heat a tablespoon of oil and add bay leaves and cumin seeds.
When they crackle add ginger garlic paste and onion paste. Mix well and cook for a minute.
Now add the spices such as salt, turmeric powder, coriander powder and red chilli powder. Put the chopped green chilli and mix thoroughly to combine the masalas well.
Cook until oil starts separating spices and releases aroma.
Now add the tomato puree and cook on medium flame for thorough mixing of ingredients.
When it starts releasing oil, add coriander leaves and mix.
