at the moment i use a cross between a frying pan and a wok, it has a flat bottom on the outside but rounded on the inside and very high sides and it works very well, its just old and battered now. i need the "wok" style of pan because when I cook Im normally cooking for the family and need to cook larger quantities also the deeps sides make less mess. As for what kind of pan many Indian cooks use..  I`ve seen them cook curries in stock pots.

sorry if i posted the pics in the wrong section but because it was a continuation of the original post i thought it was right to do so..

i was expecting a greater sweetness like the korma but was surprised how underlining the sweetness was, I think if any of the heat was taken from the dish then the coconut would have been more prominent, the ingredient`s balance this dish out.  I am not normally a korma person but this dish I will certainly be having again.   

this is what i made from my pork..

I use CA base, with CA`s Tikka Masala Phal recipe, I thought the pork would be more tough than it was but it was quite good.. I sealed it off then just followed the recipe as if it was chicken.
