About this dish

Hinava is a traditional native salad dish of the Kadazan-Dusun people in the state of Sabah within East Malaysia. It is made from raw fish and mixed with lime juice, bird's eye chilli, sliced shallots and grated ginger. Hinava is one of the main ethnic foods among the Kadazan and Dusun, often served during occasions such as the Kaamatan harvest festival, engagements, weddings, and other cultural feasts. The dish has been recognised as a national heritage dish by Malaysia's Department of National Heritage in 2009, alongside umai of Sarawak.
