Heat oil in a pot. Add bay leaf and cumin seeds. Saute until they start spluttering and become fragrant. It will take just a few seconds.
Add onion garlic paste and cook until the paste becomes golden brown. Keep on stirring in between. If the onion starts sticking to the bottom, add 1-2 tablespoons of water and continue cooking.
Add turmeric powder, kasoori methi, coriander powder, red chili powder, and 1 tablespoon of water. Mix and cook for about a minute.
Next, add tomato-green chili puree and salt. Mix, and cook until the tomato is nicely cooked. It will take around 8-10 minutes.

Switch off the gas. Add garam masala and cream. Mix everything.
Finally, add chopped cilantro and lime juice. Mix and serve hot with rice or roti.

Notes

Don't cut the vegetables into very small pieces otherwise, they will turn mushy.
Add garam masala in the end, it will make the curry more flavorful
Instead of water vegetable stock can be added too.
Feel free to use other vegetables of your choice.
While adding the cream either keep the flame on low or switch it off. Keep on stirring with the other hand until the cream gets nicely mixed in the curry.
