    So I just tried making this this evening. The soup turned out way too mushy for my and the families liking. Ended up throwing it out. Almost a baby food consistency. The lentils lost all of their wonderful texture and turned into a monotonous mush. Half the potatoes remained somewhat whole, the remainder turned to a mashed potato consistency. Not much flavor. Definitely needed more flavoring plus some simple salt and pepper. Could have used some sautéed onion at the beginning as well.

    Sate seasoning is so good!! I am making this now at 11 pm at night so I have something for my next two nights working as a RN. I will take extra for my peeps to try. Thanks for the recipe. Ok editing this because I just tasted this and got inspired since I used sweet potatoes instead and decided to add thai basil garlic curry paste. This came out so good. Yummmmmm.

    In India it’s called Dall, cooked bit spicy by adding sambar powder, amchoor, and Season it with bit of mustard seeds,cumin seeds, red chili’s,in hot oil till they are fried a bit. Adding curry leaves in that oil at the end gives nice flavor. All you can get from any Indian store. They eat with rice or tortillas / roti

    This looks delicious, but the picture shows some balls that I didn’t notice in your recipe in the video. What are they made of, & when do you add them to this lentil soup?

    I saw the video yesterday but didn't have time to comment….I always add potatoes to my lentil soup (red, green, brown lentils…makes no difference) and then puree, maybe a third….i like my soup, soupy but not runny….and yes, it's funny how it thickens up like a blob…like split pea soup does…?? I like your new adjustment to the older recipe…..You keep going, Jill!!

    Wow…you’ve come a long way with your videos….this is great! Thanks…I’m traveling…but when I get home in a few days to an empty kitchen, I’m going to pick up what I need at Trader Joe’s and get this going in my iPot.

    I do not have sate, but i have everything else under the sun in my spice cupboard. Do you know any spice blends I can use with the same ingredients to take place of the sate?

    Thank you Jill for the video, the recipe, and the close up on the Sate ingredients. I wasn't too crazy about the Kirkland's salt free seasoning. Hopefully I will enjoy Sate. If you could show us the next day Max's toasted fold over that would be awesome!!!
