Soak the chiles in 1/4 cup vinegar for 20 minutes.
Dry-roast the cumin, mustard, turmeric, black peppercorns, cinnamon, cardamom, clove powder, and nutmeg powder in a skillet for about a minute, and then place them into a food processor or blender with the onion, garlic, ginger, red chiles in vinegar, 1/8 cup oil, 3/4 cup vinegar, sugar, and salt, and puree to a smooth paste.
In a large bowl, combine the meat and the spice paste, and marinate overnight, covered.

Additional Tips
The tiny state of Goa on the west coast is known for its fiery pork dishes. This is one of the very few regions in India where pork is the most popular meat. One reason for this is that one-third of Goa is Christian, and Christians are the only people in India who do not have religious taboos about food. Note: This recipe requires advance preparation.
