- If mutton doesn’t cook fast, you can add papaya or little alcohol to cook faster.
- We can even marinate mutton for 30 minutes when you feel it’s not tender.
- Choose meat along with bones as they release additional flavor while cooking.
- Meat should be chopped into small and even size pieces so that they cook fast and absorb spices.
