Combine the onion with the lime juice in a small bowl and set aside to pickle. Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and cook the spring onions for 5 mins until softened. Tip these into a bowl with the potatoes, root veg and curry paste. Season, then mash with a fork or potato masher until most of the lumps have been removed and the mixture holds together. Shape into four patties using your hands.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in the pan over a medium heat and cook the potato cakes for 3-4 mins on each side until crisp and golden. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Heat the rest of the oil in the pan and fry the eggs to your liking, then season. Serve each potato cake with a fried egg, 1 tbsp chutney, some of the pickled onions and a sprinkling of coriander leaves.
