Dried cilantro is available, but it is totally flavorless. It's really not
worth using. It does not taste at all like fresh cilantro.

As others have said, corriander and cilantro are terms that may both be used
to talk about the leaves. It's a bit more common to call the leaves
cilantro, except when they are used in asian recipes, where they are
frequently called corriander. The seeds are almost always referred to as
corriander seeds, and "ground corriander" is always the seed.

Recipes that call for jalepeno usually want the flavor and texture of the
fresh pepper, not just the heat. You won't get that from a powder. If you
just want some peppery heat, you can use a touch of ceyenne pepper, but it's
not really a substitute for the texture and flavor of a fresh (or even a
canned) jalepeno pepper.
