Rice & Mutton Proportion should be the same for better results
Make sure the Biryani Masala is not loose consistency, It should not be watery while adding Rice to it as it will make the Biryani mushy and tastelesss
If you find the masala with loose consistency, Dry them on high flame until the excess water is drained out
Mutton pieces should be of medium sizes and not very small as it might over cook 
Drying out excess water from the onion paste without adding Oil in the beginning will help less consumption of Oil with best results
Also pressure cooking the mutton in cooker  and then adding to the Biryani masala will save a lot of time as normally Mutton takes atleast 45 mins to cook in a normal process.
