If you wanted a substitution.. saffron is generally used more for color than taste... tumeric probably has a better taste for the same color... Cilantro has a very very different taste than cinnamon - you're going from warmth to cilantro being very green and fresh...
the only other substition i could think of would be cumin-- it's got the warmth of cinnamon but it's smokier... and it would go well with the peppers
