  1. Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a pan on medium heat.
  2. Once the oil is hot, add the bay leaf, cinnamon stick, cloves and saute for few seconds.
  3. Then add the onion, ginger garlic paste, and fry until the onion is translucent.
  4. Add the tomatoes, cashew paste, and green chillis, and mix.
  5. Then add 1 cup of water. Cover the pan and cook on medium heat for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, remove the pan from heat.
  6. Remove the bay leaf, cinnamon stick, and cloves. Let the mixture cool down a bit and then transfer to a blender.
