method  1 :

Slit buns/dinner rolls/paav's from centre(horizontally ),apply garlic chutney and tamarind chutney both the sides according to your taste,stuff a tbsp of potato mix on the lower side of the bun,top it with few masala peanuts,chopped onions,pomograntes,grated coconut and corriander leaves.Sprinkle some nylon sev all over and toast the buns with little butter on a preheated pan/tava/griddle ,both the sides and serve hot.

method 2 : 

Like the ready made street stall sellers,you can set the potato mix flat on a plate like one layer,top it with some grated coconut,corriander leaves,masala peanuts,sprinkle some nylon sev and onions,so this mixture you can divide into the required number of buns an stuff into the buns and toast with butter and serve so it would be little easy and handy, i personally do this as have seen in mumbai selling dabelis in this style .
