Dried coriander is not a substitute for fresh coriander:
they taste completely different.  Fresh coriander is hard
to find, but a good substitute is some stuff called "Recaito"
that comes in jars.  Its main ingredient is -- you guessed it --
coriander!  (plus onions, garlic, and seasonings)  Some of our
local supermarkets carry it, usually in the section with Spanish
foods.  Try some in guacamole, chili, hot sauce.  A little goes
a long way.
