Fry for 5 minutes, stirring continually. Then add everything except for cilantro, and turn heat down to medium. Cook for two minutes, stirring the whole time.Add vegetable broth and simmer for ten minutes. Once the surface is frothy, add to lentils and water. Should be a thick pea soup consistency, or a bit thinner.
