Alan, MB is Mrs Mallika Badrinath. She is a popular cook down south. She has many recipe books to her credit and one of the books is 100 kinds of mixed rice or something like that. I think u could get her books very easily.
Haven't tried all the recipes, but of the ones i tried, i liked the Curry Leaves rice a lot. Many of my friends like it a lot as i make it often esp for picnics.
