What is the Difference Between Pulao and Biryani?

The Rice Dish Dilemma

To the untrained eye, Pulao and Biryani might look similar, but they are entirely different in their preparation and flavor profile.

The Cooking Method

Pulao is cooked using the absorption method. The meat, rice, and broth are all cooked together in one pot simultaneously. Biryani, however, uses the "Dum" method, where partially cooked rice is layered over cooked meat and steamed.

The Spices

Biryani is heavily spiced and complex, while Pulao is generally milder, focusing more on the flavor of the meat broth.
