Tips *If you do not have poppy seeds skip it. *It is the quality of the mutton that matters, so take a good quality fresh mutton. *Also always make sure to cook it on a low to medium flame, cooking meat on high flame makes it turn hard. *You can marinate the mutton overnight also. *Avoid readymade fried onions, instead of that make it at home it will taste better and you will get good results.
