You don't really need to use gram flour. It's the traditional or 'authentic' way of doing it, but plain flour will work just fine.
 
I made a simple rogan josh last night by frying some chicken in frylight mixing in some pre brought Rogan Josh seasoning I had (quite a few companies on the internet sell these quite cheaply) with some tinned tomoatoes, fresh garlic, onions, tomatoes and peppers. Tasted nice and filled a hole

Don't know were it came from though...
 
It is from SW Curry Feast cookery book and very nice it is too. :)
 
I would imagine so because my xtra easy cook book has curry recipes and they can be frozen and you can buy frozen bhajis
