Vegetarian food

So my boyfriend is Indian, Hindu, and a vegetarian 🌱

I just met him this year and I’m black, Christian, and an omnivore😂

So what we wanted to do one day is making a vegetarian meal together but I feel like it’s going to be hard because I’ve looked on Pinterest and they only have certain dishes like a casseroles or appetizers. What are some good combinations while making a vegetarian meal. What I know of is the traditional plate is meat and 2 sides for example:

•A streak

• greens bean

• potatoes

I need help😫 I want to make my boyfriend happy with my cooking
