Black Eyed Peas gone Turkish

Cooking after ages in my new kitchen. Here's an experiment which didn't backfire.

100 gm Black eyed peas, soaked overnight
2 tbsp Garlic paste
3-4 Bay Leaves
2 Medium onions, chopped
2 Medium tomatoes, chopped
2 tbsp Turkish shawarma masala (Close to a mix of garam masala &chat masala)
2 tbsp Cheese spread
3 tbsp Cooking oil
Salt and Chili pepper

Boil the peas with a little salt and half of the chopped onions in the pressure cooker. Heat oil in another pan, stir in the bay leaves, garlic and the rest of the onions. Cook till onions are light brown. Stir in the tomatoes till soft. Add in the remaining dry ingredients, followed by the cheese spread and boiled black eyed peas. Cook till thick consistency. Serve with garlic bread.
