Rangers Manager Should Encourage His Players to Eat More Curries     Curry entrepreneur Sanjay Majhu, (left), the man at the helm of Glasgow-headquartered Harlequin Leisure Group, the largest Indian restaurant chain in Europe, is convinced that new Rangers boss Paul Le Guen has made a mistake by reportedly banning his squad from eating Indian food. Contrary to Mr Le Guen's assertion that curries have no place in a fitness regime, Mr Majhu contends that, in fact, curries are a healthy food option - and he has scientific evidence on his side to back up his claim. Said Mr Majhu, 'The latest research from the University of Maastricht in Holland confirms what many of our regular customers have known for years - that the spices and herbs used in Indian cooking have properties which boost the body's metabolism. 'Of course, burning calories can be kick-started by exercise, but they can also be kick-started by hot and spicy ingredients such as ginger, onion, turmeric and cumin. And spices aid digestion by helping to make consumers feel full quicker so that they eat less. At Harlequin we offer consumers a comprehensive range of healthy curry options and we don't cook with any saturated fats. 'I would be delighted to show Mr Le Guen around our kitchens to see for himself and extend an open invitation to the whole Rangers squad to come in and sample some dishes from our extensive menu. Who knows, rather than being bad for you, a regular curry might just help Rangers in their campaign to win the SPL this year!'
