Thanks for the replies. 

I like the idea of using it in a shed as they are a lot of money and seems a shame to not use it over winter.  But I am worried about the frost but if kept under a cover in the shed when not in use and only use it in the shed on dry and warmer days then I should get some winter use out of it.

Or should I stick to oven/grill/BBQ and save the money?

Am thinking of getting a tandoori oven and was wondering if anyone who has one uses it in winter outside or are they just a summer (what summer) thing?

seems alot of money if they can only be used in dry/warm weather.

I freeze mine in ice cube trays and haven't noticed any difference in taste compared with using fresh.

Agree, my question was a bit vague but didn't realise this dish is not so widely known.

Next time I order it I will try and see if I can find out more and maybe even see if they will let me see it been cooked.  The only info I can get on it at moment is "cooked with tomato, green pepper, green chili and coriander" which I suppose does at least tell what ingredients are required but not any of the spices or quantities.

Its quite a rich dish and very saucy with a kick about Madras strength.  It usually comes with whole green chillies in it which obviously can be left if too hot.

Anyone got a recipe for lamb/chicken green masala?  Its one of my favs at my local indian and would like to try it at home.

Cheers

Many thanks CA for this.

Have made curries from books in the past and they have been very bland.  Made the CA curry base last night and then a chicken rogan josh tonight (loveitspicy's recipe) and it looked and tasted perfect.

Great thing about it all is how quick and easy curries are once you have the base made.

Thanks again to CA and loveitspicy for the recipes.
