Gather everything together till all the mixture bind in a form of a big ball. Add some more water slowly if needed.

Trick:  Sometime you cant find a warm place at home. on the top of the plastic wrao cover with a towel and have a space heater in the area where you will keep the bowl but dont let it to be too close to the bowl. Yeast works better when it finds a perfect warm temperature.

Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook till you see the bubles are popping up high you can lift the cover and check the bottom iif its is evenly browned but not overly cooked. Turn the naan and cook for aditional two or two minutes with the cover. lift and see if its evenly cooked on the other side.

Frosting Ingredients
1 3/4th Butter
 4TBS Cocoa(Tader Joe)
1/4th cup Milk
1TSP Vanilla
1 pound confection sugar
Your favorite kind nuts or Sprinkles of your choice
How to make it
Start the process of frosting when cake is still warm and can be removed from the baking dish. Place place the cake where can be easily moved again to the original cake platter. I know i know its lots of moving but when it comes to chocolate no matter how careful you are it finds its way to go the places you doesnt want it to go. Right now i can say this about QB (My grandson) QB loves to explore kitchen cabinets especially under the sink which is the only one i dont want him to explore . Now pour frosting slowly on the warm cake. Make sure to pour it slowly and evenly. No need to spread it evenly it makes its own way where needed. Once each and every corner gets its fair share you can transport it to the cake platter. Enjoy warm with cold milk.
