In a bowl make a marinade of all the ingredients of marinade.
Coat all paneer slices with the marinade and let the paneer marinate for approximately 30 minutes. Which will help it to absorb the flavours.
Meanwhile, when paneer is marinating, take a small Pan and mix together all the ingredients of chutney. Heat it bring it to a boil and give it a good mix. Chutney is ready , keep it aside.
Crush papad/Applams in a plate.
