Preheat the oven at 350 F
Place the chicken in a baking tray.
Sprinkle turmeric, cinnamon, chilli powder, salt and pepper on top of the chicken.
Use the back of a tablespoon to cover the chicken with the tomato paste.
Sprinkle the thyme powder on the tomato paste.
Drizzle the oil on top of the chicken and add 1/2 cup water

Take it out of the oven and turn it over, cook for 30 more minutes. Add the extra 1/2 cup water if needed.
Additional Notes
You can add or remove chili powder depending on how hot you like your food. This chicken dish goes well with cardamon rice. Add more tomato puree to make extra succulent sauce.
