Ric, you and I might agree with that. But I understand there are a fair number of men for whom cilantro is intolerably bitter. For them the recipe without cilantro would be a good thing.

The seeds also can be somewhat bitter.
My wife is proud to be a 'supertaster' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SupertasterThese mutants ;-) have extra taste receptors and can detect more molecules than the old deprecated style of human like us. For example brussel sprouts that are fine to me are intolerably bitter to her.
Indeed. The Indians (Hindu style) call it coriander. Gotta have lotsa cominos, too (cumin).
MMM in the UK Indian food is pretty much the national dish. It's definitely breakfast time. (Then I better get back on topic.)
