Not only is disinterested morality (doing good “for its own sake”) impossible; it is undesirable. That is, it is unbiblical because it would mean that the better a man became the harder it would be for him to act morally. The closer he came to true goodness the more naturally and happily he would do what is good. A good man in Scripture is not the man who dislikes doing good but toughs it out for the sake of duty. A good man loves kindness (Mic. 6:8) and delights in the law of the Lord (Ps. 1:2) and the will of the Lord (Ps. 40:8). But how shall such a man do an act of kindness disinterestedly? The better the man, the more joy in obedience.

INSTRUCTIONS

To prepare the pooris, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a
mixing bowl.  Pour the oil into the water, then add this mixture to the
flour mixture to form a dough. Mix well. Knead for about 5 minutes until
dough is very smooth.  Divide into 6 balls of dough. Set aside for about 2
hours, covered with a damp cloth. Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into
a thin flattened circle, a poori, about 9 inches in diameter. Set aside,
covered.
To prepare the filling, combine the chicken and all the other ingredi- ents
except the oil and the garnish. Mix well and marinate for 2 hours or
longer. When done marinating, add 2 tablespoons oil to a saucepan and heat
to medium.  Add the chicken mixture and cook, stirring con- stantly for
about 5 minutes. Add the water then cook on low for about 5 minutes, or
until chicken is tender.  Keep warm.
Add 2 tablespoons of oil to a skillet or grill.  Place the rolled pooris on
the skillet.  Fry each side for about 2 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Brush each side with margarine or oil. Wrap in clean towel to keep warm
until ready to serve.
When ready to serve, fold about 2 tablespoons of chicken mixture into each
round and serve.  Garnish with scallions and Scotch Bonnet pepper.
