Thiruvathira Kali and Thalagam are the most important naivedhyam items offered to lord Shiva on the day of Thiruvathira. The interesting point is Kali is a sweet made from jiggery and Thalagam is a spicy kootu made out of 5-7 vegetables. The combination is very yummy and is also the favorite dish of lord Shiva. The auspicious time to offer this to lord shiva is early in the morning before sunrise.

Thiruvadhirai Kali is ready to offer .
The kali should have a shining surface when done.
This kali can be prepared in a pressure cooker also with more ease. The Kali can be prepared adding moong dhal also. Those who dont have time can prepare it by directly roasting the raw rice instead of drying in order to save time, but the best results are when it is prepared traditionally.
