A lot of people get confused about the difference between Biryani and Pulao. In the traditional Biryani recipe, rice and meat or vegetables are cooked separately, assembled in layers, and then cooked on low flame (dum style) so that all the flavors are infused during the slow cooking. As a result, it is much richer due to ghee, fried onions, and more spices. Whereas Pulao is a medley of rice with either vegetables or meat, and both these things are cooked together with a mixture of spices.
