Because it stands no where in front of Diana cutlets :D But i must say this is a yummilicious & healthy snack. You can eat it with tomato ketch up or GREEN CHUTNEY or you can have it with both like Diana serves it. Actually cutlets, samosas are my moms specials. really nobody can beat her in her special recipes <3
