'''Periyapattinam''' is a large village located in the eastern part ([[Gulf of Mannar]]) of [[Ramanathapuram district]], [[Tamil Nadu]], India. The inhabitants of this village are primarily [[Tamil Muslims]]

== History ==
[[File:JaliMP.jpg|left|thumb|Marcopolo Travel]]
This place is one of the historic ports of Eastern ([[Gulf of Mannar]]) from 21 km distance of [[Ramanathapuram]] where [[Ibn Battuta]], [[Marco Polo]] and other famous travellers visited. [[Ibn Battuta|ibn Battuta mentioned this place as fattan at his book Rihla.]]The port was called Parakirama Pattinam in the 10th century.<ref>[https://archive.org/stream/southindiahermuh00krisuoft#page/64/mode/2up ''South India and Her Muhammadan Invaders'' by Krishnaswami S. Aiyangar.]</ref>
<ref>[http://jahubar.xtgem.com/Jali_Ppm.PNG ''South India and Her Muhammadan Invaders'' by Krishnaswami S. Aiyangar.]</ref>
In the 12th century, it was called Pavitra Manicka Pattinam. It was also called Ta Pa Tan by the famous Chinese traveller [[Wang Ta-Yuan]] in the 14th century.<ref>[http://jahubar.xtgem.com/Jali_Ppm1.PNG ''Science and civilisation in China'', Vol. 6, Part 3. by Joseph Needham, Christian Daniels, Nicholas K. Menzies.]</ref> Now, it is called Periyapattinam, where thousands of Muslims live. Most Muslims consider themselves to be settler descendants of maritime traders who had business linking the [[Persian Gulf]] to the south Indian coast and [[Southeast Asia]].

==Cuisine==
The food habits practised by the Periyapattinam people have similarities with Sri Lankan Tamil Muslim cuisine and Malay cuisine. For example, foods like vatlappam,<ref>Vatlappam Recipe http://www.indianfoodrecipes.co.in/egg-coconut-pudding</ref> Idiyappam are probably from Sri Lanka. Most of the dietary practices of people of Periyapattinam follow that of coastal dwellers i.e. seafood dependence.
