Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 60 seconds.
Step 2
Add lamb cubes in a single layer. Sear without stirring for 2 minutes until golden on bottom, then stir and cook 2 more minutes.
Step 3
Push lamb to the side, add onion to the empty space, and cook stirring occasionally until softened, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in ginger-garlic paste and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add all spice powders and stir for another 30 seconds.
Step 5
Pour in crushed tomato and 0.5 cup water. Stir, bring to a simmer, and cook uncovered for 8–10 minutes until lamb is tender.
Step 6
While curry simmers, warm naan in a dry skillet or over a flame until puffed and lightly charred, about 1 minute per side.
Step 7
Season lamb with salt and pepper to taste. Serve curry with warm naan and extra chili powder on the side if desired.
