A few weeks ago, my brother took me out to dinner at a Downtown LA restaurant that's listed as both Indian and American (New) on Yelp. Badmaash, I've since learned, means something like rascal, hooligan, trouble-maker in Hindi. Two of the restaurants' owners are siblings and children of Indian immigrants. Badmash is something their grandmother used to call them.
 
We ordered "Channa Masala Poutine," among (many) other incredibly delicious things. Poutine, a popular French-Canadian late-night snack, becomes something entirely different at Badmaash. It's topped with chicken tikka, cilantro, and of course, cheese curds and gravy.
 
Channa Masala Poutine is not what comes to mind when most people think of authentic Indian food. And Badmaash is not the kind of restaurant most people think of when they think about authentic Indian restaurants.
 
Since that night, I've been thinking a lot about the concept of authenticity and what it actually means when we talk about food. I think "authentic food" is typically a form of praise we use when a restaurant serves dishes a grandmother might make—dishes that adhere to old traditions, perhaps even ones centuries-old.
 
But the bicultural, child-of-immigrant experience is an authentic experience, and so is any food that that experience gives birth to. Channa Masala Poutine is an authentic Canadian-Indian, American-Indian dish.
 
We're a little over a week into Latinx Heritage Month, so I've been reflecting on my own relationship with the foods I grew up eating, too. Both of my parents are Mexican immigrants, and I grew up eating the kind of dishes grandmothers cook. But my relationship to Mexican food is not the same as my parents'. And that's okay.
 
I don't make my sopa de albondigas the same way my mother does. I like mine with sliced avocado, crispy tortilla strips, sometimes barley or farro, lots of Tapatio sauce, and a squeeze of lime. But you can add anything your heart desires.
