  Sift flour and salt into a bowl, add water and mix to a firm dough, adding
  more flour if necessary.  Divide into 2 balls and wrap in plastic.  Rest
  for 30 minutes.
  On a floured board roll out each ball of dough very thinly.  Cut into 5 mm
  (1/4-inch) strips either while it is flat or by rolling up each sheet of
  dough and slicing with a sharp knife.  Place noodles on a floured cloth,
  dust with flour and leave to dry for about 30 minutes.
  Wash split peas well and place in a pan with 1-1/2 cups cold water.  Bring
  to the boil and boil gently for 30 minutes or until tender.  Add red beans
  and liquid and keep warm.
  In a large pot bring 8 cups water to the boil, add 2 teaspoons salt, oil
  and noodles.  Put noodles in gradually, stirring after each addition.
  Return to the boil and cook uncovered for 5 minutes.  Add spinach and cook
  for further 5 minutes.  Drain in a colander and return to the pot.  Add
  split peas and bean mixture with its liquid, toss ingredients lightly and
  keep hot over low heat.
  In a frying pan heat the 1/2 cup oil, fry onion until soft and add ground
  meat.  Stir over high heat until juices evaporate and meat browns lightly.
  Add salt and pepper to taste, tomato puree and water, cover and simmer 10
  minutes, then remove cover and let moisture evaporate.  Sauce should be
  oily.
  Combine chakah ingredients, add to noodles and toss well.  Mixture should
  be moist.
  Place noodle mixture in a deep dish and top with keema.  Stir at the table
  and serve in deep plates.
