Chop onions fine and puree them along with green chili. Chop tomatoes and puree it separately. Keep them aside.
Heat a wide pan. Dry roast cumin seeds, black pepper corns, coriander seeds, dried red chilies and mustard seeds.
Roast them on low flame for about a minute until it starts to splutter. Be careful, these whole spices can burn easily. So make sure you reduce the flame and roast it for about a minute. Remove from flame, let it cool and then grind into powder in a mixer grinder.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wide pan. Add cloves, cinnamon stick and bay leaf.
Add onion green chili paste and sauté till raw smell of the onion paste is gone.
Add ginger garlic paste and cook till the raw smell of the paste is gone. Now add tomato puree and cook till tomato puree thickens and oil separates from the edges of the pan.
Once it is done, add spice powders including red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder and the powdered spice mix along with salt. Cook for about 1 minute.
