Indian-Spiced Chicken, Eggplant, and Tomato Skewers

['4 garlic cloves, finely grated', '1 (3") piece ginger, finely grated', '1 (14-ounce) can coconut milk', '3 teaspoons finely grated lime zest', '2 tablespoons fresh lime juice', '2 tablespoons tomato paste', '3 teaspoons kosher salt', '1 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric', '1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper', '1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom', '2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, trimmed, cut into 1 1/2" cubes', '1 medium eggplant, cut into 1 1/2" cubes', '1 small red onion, cut into 2" pieces', '1 pint cherry tomatoes', 'Canola or vegetable oil (for grill)', 'Naan or flatbread, cilantro, lime wedges, and plain yogurt (for serving)', '14 (8–12-inch-long) metal or bamboo skewers soaked in water at least 1 hour']

Whisk garlic, ginger, coconut milk, lime zest and juice, tomato paste, salt, turmeric, cayenne, and cardamom in a large bowl. Transfer half of marinade to another large bowl. Add chicken to 1 bowl of marinade; toss to coat. Add eggplant, onion, and tomatoes to the other bowl; toss to coat. Cover and chill at least 1 hour.
Thread each ingredient onto its own set of skewers: divide chicken among 6 skewers, tomatoes among 4, eggplant among 3, and onion on 1.
Prepare a grill or grill pan for high heat; generously oil grates. Grill skewers, turning often, until well charred and cooked through, about 5 minutes for tomatoes, 10 minutes for chicken, and 15 minutes for eggplant and onion.
Just before serving, toast naan on grill until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Top grilled chicken and vegetables with cilantro and serve with naan, lime wedges, and yogurt alongside.
Ingredients can be marinated 1 day ahead; cover and chill. Skewers can be assembled 1 day ahead; cover and chill.
