Aren't they the same?

No! While pulao and biryani are both popular dishes in the Indian subcontinent. They have different preparations and flavors.

Biryani

Biryani is a layered rice. This means that the rice and chicken/meat are cooked separately, and then layered together prior to finishing the dish.

Pulao

Pulao is a one-pot recipe. It involves cooking the rice/grain and chicken/meat together, and the absorption of the cooking liquid.
