Add more butter if needed. Season with salt. Mix well. Garnish with the chopped coriander leaves. To prepare the "pav" or dinner rolls, slit the buns into two keeping the base intact. On a flat frying pan, melt some butter. Arrange all the buns on the pan. Roast both the sides as well as the inner surfaces of buns on the butter. Serve the "pav" or rolls with the "bhaaji" or vegetable. Garnish with chopped onions and a dash of lemon juice.
