Heat a large saute pan (use one that has a lid) with oil over medium heat. Add ginger, garlic, and onions and saute until onions are starting to soften, ~3 minutes.
Add in spice mix and saute until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
Add diced tomatoes (including liquid), cauliflower florets (no need to defrost first), and beans. Saute for 5 minutes to let cauliflower soften and some of the liquid to cook off. Taste and season with some salt and pepper.
Use the back of a spoon to create indentations in the shakshuka. Crack eggs directly into the indentations.
Lower heat to low-medium and cover pan with a lid. Cook until whites are set and yolks are done to your liking, ~5 minutes.
Toast naan.
Serve shakshuka with cilantro and yogurt on top and lime wedges on the side. Enjoy with naan.
