Pulao is a very simple rice variety that any beginner can start with learning rice varieties.

Preparing pulao is a much simpler procedure that uses the absorption method. In other words, everything from rice to vegetables or meat is put inside one container at once and the ingredients absorb the water completely as it cooks.
Preparing a biryani on the hand is a much more complicated procedure and works on the draining method. It is cooked by layering partially boiled rice, fried in ghee and other partially cooked ingredients again fired in ghee (often a layer of fried onions placed on top) in an earthen pot or ‘handi’.

While making pulao there are some key points to keep in mind:

soak rice atleast for 20-30mins
wash rice before soaking, because if washed after soaking rice will break
water:rice ration is 2:1, that is if adding 1 cup rice add 2 cup water
donot cook vegetables for a long time
add strianed rice only once the water starts to boil
donot stir rice while cooking that leads to breaking of rice,instead swril the pot to mix
first cook rice in high temperature until rice grow bigger, later cook in medium temperature
