Add a little bit of water and mash the potatoes with a potato masher.

Adjust the Dabeli Masala according to the quantity being made (about 4 tablespoons used).

Turn off the heat and let the potato mixture cool down.

Scoop the cooled potato mixture into a baking dish and spread it evenly.

Add fried spicy peanuts, shredded coconut, chopped onions, chopped cilantro, and pomegranate seeds on top of the potato mixture.

Apply date chutney on one side of the pav and garlic chutney on the other side.

Stuff the pav with the prepared potato mixture, adding extra toppings like onions, peanuts, and more chutney if desired.

Heat a skillet and apply butter on top of the pav.

Place the buttered side down on the skillet and apply butter on top again.

Grill until lightly browned, flipping to brown the other side as well.

Remove from the skillet and serve.
