Not shakshuka

Zero chili powder. If you have any chili recipe with ground coriander I’d love to see it.
I use coriander in my chili, not saying this can’t be called a beef shakshuka though.
I make my own chili powders, never pre mixed, always with hella coriander as it’s my favorite of the Mexican (ergo Indian) spices.

I make about two quartes of chili powder a year.

We are no longer having a good faith conversation.
We have documentation. Ground coriander seed is as far removed from the original chili recipes as can be. We know the origins of chili. It’s well documented.
“Who’s to say” isn’t evidence. It’s wild speculation. It’s the equivalent of “we don’t know the reason so the reason is X” which is the Argument from Ignorance fallacy.
Ground coriander tastes nothing like fresh. One is not a substitute for the other. Fresh coriander on chilli is pretty rare too and seldom found outside of formerly Spanish held territory.
This is like chili. I said so in my original post. But saying that all you need is paprika and some coriander to season chili is like calling Taco Bell authentic Mexican food.
Honestly, you made this recipe by adaptation no? So why argue about authenticity when you made this recipe up yourself?

If someone wants to call this a chili that’s fine. I did it myself. But to say you can just use coriander seed as a substitute for cilantro goes well beyond that. Saying coriander is a completely normal thing to put in a chili is not true. To speculate on the origins of chili with no citations supporting your claim is just making stuff up.
I don’t have a problem with the general vibe. I have a problem with the specific claims. It’s like claiming that eggs and bread crumbs are perfectly fine in a hamburger mix. That’s a pan fried meatloaf, which sounds pretty tasty right now.
