 Melt three tablespoons butter in a small pan.  Stir in the dates, cinnamon powder and cloves.  Turn heat down to low and cook covered for 10 minutes or until the mixture is soft, stirring often.  (Do not overcook).  Now add dried red chilies or red chili powder and salt as per your taste.  After the rice has cooked 10 minutes, remove the pot from the burner without taking off the lid and let stand for 10 minutes.  Drain the rice in a strainer under warm water and then place half of the rice back in the post, flattening and spreading it around evenly.

 Dot the first layer of rice with one tablespoon of butter.  Now arrange the cooked date mixture over the rice, spreading it around and flattening with a spatula.  Spoon the rest of the rice on top, again spreading it around and flattening the top then dot with 1 tablespoon of butter.

 Invert a heatproof plate on the top of the rice; place it on top of the pot.  Cover the pot with the lid and cook on very low heat for 15 minutes.  After 10 minutes of cooking, remove the pot (but keep the lid on the pot) to another burner and set aside for another 10 minutes.  Invert the post of rice on the serving platter.
