How to read this
Per-100 g comparisons flatter whatever is eaten in small portions. Mutton Biryani is denser per gram, but people do not eat by the gram — chicken biryani arrives as 1 restaurant plate and mutton biryani as 1 restaurant plate, and that is where the real difference shows up.
Mutton Biryani carries more protein, which matters more than the calorie gap if you are trying to stay full. Both figures assume home cooking with a measured amount of oil; a restaurant plate of either can run 30 to 60% higher.
