Incorporate sugar or jaggery into the mixture and stir until it completely dissolves.
Add cardamom powder and chopped nuts (almonds, cashews) and raisins.
Mix well and cook for a few more minutes until the mixture thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan.

Allow the Ghrtapoora to cool completely before storing it in an airtight container.
