So maybe that's why it's connected to the pilaf also...central Asia origins

**it must be noted that I had the biryani at my house with that hard apple cider**
i think what you are talking about is raita. borhani is made differently but the taste of them is quite similar. my guess would be raita is missing a special kind of salt(In Bangla, we call it "Bit lobon", not sure about the english term) and the proportion of yoghurt is different. Note: Bengali Biriyani in general does not use raita
