Prepare the Moong Dal: Rinse the moong dal under cool running water until the water runs clear. Place the dal in a bowl and cover with 2 cups of water. Let it soak for 1 to 2 hours. The dal should be soft enough to break with a fingernail but still have a slight bite. Do not over-soak. Once soaked, drain all the water completely using a fine-mesh sieve and set aside.
Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the drained moong dal, finely chopped cucumber, freshly grated coconut, chopped coriander leaves, and green chilies. Gently toss to combine.
Prepare the Tempering (Tadka): Heat the coconut oil in a small pan or tadka ladle over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds. Wait for them to splutter completely, which should take about 30-45 seconds.
Finish the Tempering: Once the mustard seeds have spluttered, lower the heat and add the curry leaves (be careful, they will pop) and asafoetida. Sauté for another 15-20 seconds until the curry leaves are crisp. Immediately turn off the heat.
Assemble and Serve: Pour the hot tempering over the moong dal mixture in the bowl. Just before serving, add the salt and fresh lemon juice. Mix everything together thoroughly. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately to enjoy its fresh, crunchy texture.
