Hope you all had a wonderful Easter. For this Easter, spicy Indian style smoked ham decorated our lunch table. In this recipe of smoked ham, both sweetness and spiciness tied knot.
You can make this glazed ham not only for Easter but also for any celebrations with your family and friends. I decided to include this one for our Easter menu as Anish and my little one loves to have different style dishes on our table.

They all loved this and didn't mind to take more and me too..... This is one of my attempts to break conventional style of preparing for Easter menu, which climbed success (as all of us equally enjoyed !!). This time I transferred traditional style for the breakfast as we can't afford ourselves without that for even a day..... :-)
