Heat the remaining oil in a pressure cooker, adding cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, and bay leaves. Add ginger and garlic and sauté until golden brown. Add onion paste and sauté for 2-3 minutes before adding the tomato paste. Cook till the oil starts separating from the mixture. Add salt and the remaining spices.
