Pilaf (also spelt pilau, pullao, pullaw etc.) is a Middle Eastern dish of rice cooked in a seasoned broth. Depending on the local cuisine it may also contain a variety of meat and vegetables. The word pilau is of Persian origin. The spelling pilaf or pilaff is based on the Turkish pronunciation. In the Indian version of the dish, basmati rice is used.
Biryani is an Indian dish very similar to pilaf. It is made from basmati or similar aromatic rice. This is an original mughal dish introduced to India during the mughal period. The test of biryani is that you take a spoonful of it and throw on a plate and each of the rice grains should stand out separate and not stick together.
