     I cooked this last night and I used green chillies. They were about 4" long and I did`t
        deseed them. It did make the curry quite hot and had a very strong chili after taste,
        maybe due to the size of chili. It serves 3-4 (depending on servings). My son ate his
        (with a few glasses of water) but I left mine and reheated in microwave later and it
        seemed to take the sting out of it.......... ;D.............regards..........mike..
     

Thanks for the tip  . I have just spent most of the afternoon in the kitchen cooking this curry again. I made a couple of changes and the results were very good;-

             2lbs onions chopped,fried and then blended to a paste.
             3 small fat green chillies seeds removed.

It must have been the seeds that gave it a bit of a sting.. ...........Regards......mike. ;D

Nice one,  How many tomatoes did you add?? How long before the end of cooking?? I had a Chicken Madras from my local BIR at the weekend and I must say the similarity was very close. My wife had a Chicken Rogan Josh which does contain tomatoes. At the moment she is not all that keen on this curry so if I can make it Rogan Josh style then we will have a result.............cheers.. ;D ;D..mike

Thanks for that  I will be in the kitchen on saturday so I will let you know how it goes............cheers.. ;D..mike

Mike, it was superb, I added creamed cocconut and fenugreek leaves to sauce as chicken was cooking, also left chicken on the bone....superb
