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
