Another consideration would be to blend the parsley with another member of the Apiaceae family: I would lean toward chervil.
Dill and fennel are two other common Apiaceae family relatives which have a stronger anise profile (no surprise that anise is another Apiaceae member).
Ultimately, replace the cilantro with whatever herb you and your dinner table guests enjoy. Mint is definitely a strong candidate as it pairs very well with yogurt and is a recognized yogurt companion in Mediterranean cuisine.
