Pulav means chicken / vege cooked along with rice as a single process.Biryani means we cook rice separately and dum it on top of cooked/ uncooked chicken.I hope i cleared ur doubt.

Great recipe.
I tried and it came out so good.
One question. Usually at the roadside places in Andhra, the pulao is served with some sort of gravy/sauce.
Can you tell me how to make this?
I have seen an image of this gravy at the end of this video:
