Boil 2 medium-sized potatoes cut into wedges for 9 minutes, then drain and let dry.
Fry the potatoes in hot oil for about 3 minutes until slightly golden brown, then set aside.
In a wok, heat 3/4 cup oil and fry 2 sliced onions on medium-low heat for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.
Remove some fried onions for topping later.
Add 1 tbsp chopped garlic and 1 tbsp grated ginger to the onions and fry for 1 minute.
Add 750 g chicken pieces and fry for 2 minutes on medium-high heat.
Add spices: salt to taste, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp red chili powder, 5 cardamom pods, 1 tsp cumin seeds, 16-18 black pepper, 5 cloves, 2 bay leaves, and 1 stick of cinnamon; stir and fry for 5 minutes.
Add 3/4 cup plain yogurt and mix well, then cover and cook on low-medium heat for 20 minutes until chicken is tender.
Prepare 2 cups basmati rice by washing and soaking for 30 minutes, then boil in 2 L water with 3 tsp salt and 1 tsp cumin seeds for 6 minutes until 70% cooked; drain and set aside.
Fry the chicken mixture on high heat for 5 minutes until most liquid evaporates, then add 75 g dried prunes, 2 cut tomatoes, and the fried potatoes; mix well.
Assemble the biryani by layering rice, chicken, fresh mint leaves, more rice, remaining chicken, fresh coriander leaves, and the rest of the rice.
Top with fried onions and orange food coloring, cover, and cook on low heat for 5 minutes.
Turn off heat, remove lid, mix well, and serve with sliced lemon.
