Whole Yellow Peas with Bishop’s Weed

Whole legumes—like chickpeas, or yellow or green peas, cooked with simple spices—are referred to as ragados in Gujarati. I once sampled a frozen convenience product labeled “Ragado” and said to myself, “I can do better than this.” Here is the result, made extra-textural by the raw red onion and sweet golden raisins. Eat it with fluffy thin rotis for a simple meal.
