Yes it is.... especially if it's not common where you live.

Also, you may need protein supplements

I want to learn about how rich a dietary style of vegitariens can be. Eating meat is too much attractive to stop for me now.

From an Indian perspective, there's quite a variety

Vegetables: 3-4 types of gourd , okra, brinjal, moringa, cabbage, cauliflower, carrot, turnip, radish, pumpkin, capsicum, 4-5 varieties of green leafy (like spinach/mint), 3-4 types of tubers 🥔🍠, beetroot, French beans, broad beans

Legumes: Peanuts, Chickpeas, hyacinth beans, kidney beans 🫘, butter beans, lima beans, black-eyed peas, green peas, Bengal gram, 5-6 different types of lentils

Grains: Rice, wheat, sometimes corn and also traditionally barley, buckwheat, millets (like kodo millet, finger millet & foxtail millet, little millets).

Vegetarian food can have good variety and balance but it's possible only if ingredients are available

Thanks.

Considering these, having enough protein and probably adequate amount of oil and fat are the point?

Yes.

Proteins is the big question - because plant protein is not complete and whether you get adequate amount from pulses is debatable.
