Heat 1/4 cup oil in a pot on low. Add the cumin and all the dry spices (cinammon, cardamom, cloves). Well roast. Add 4 leaves of ramba (pandan).

Add onions on high heat. Fry until translucent. Reduce heat to medium and add 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste. Once the garlic is well fried, add the green chilies.
