Toasted vegetable sandwhich in turkish roll !

This is a very healthy and filling sandwhich,easy to make and tastes wonderful with a cup of hot coffee . Had this sandwhich here in melbourne many a times now in coffee shops and specially luv the one which we get here in gloria jeans coffee shop.A couple of mths ago my hubby was out of the city and i was kinda feeling lazy to cook for myself and for my daughter ,that moment my dear friend took us both out for lunch in a cafeteria below her husband's office and even in sometime her husband joined us ,there i had this sandwhich for the first time,the name given to it was veg foccacia which according to me was quite surprising as foccacia was something else in my mind but whatever the name may be..who cares ...right ? the sandwhich was awesomely delicious ,since then i keep craving for this simple toasted sandwhich ,i found it quite easy to make and so gave it a try.Thanx mamta & dhiraj for the wonderful lunch on that lazy aftnernoon,will surely join u'll again ;).We can even try the same filling in some other breads too .
