The success to make any good mutton biryani is tender meat and cooking it the right way. Most folks fail to prepare a good mutton recipe, due to the wrong choice of the meat. Using one that is not tender. Next overcooking or cooking on high flame too can make it hard. I have included clear instructions on how to cook mutton that yields soft and tender bites. Also we need to marinate with yogurt and oil that helps to tenderize the mutton very well.

If you are using meat that is not tender or if you are unsure about how tender it is, use meat tenderizer, which is available in most grocery stores. Alternately you can use grated raw papaya during marination. Just 2 tbsps. For half a kg is the approximation. I have personally never used it as I get good tender meat in Singapore.
