The traditional Indian (largely vegetarian) diets rely heavily on seasonal vegetables, grains (wheat, rice, millets), and legumes. Indian cuisines are such a varied lot that you're likely to find one you enjoy.
In respect to your concern for B12, an Indian Medical Council study from a few years ago found very few cases of clinical B12 deficiency in the country. This, despite the average Indian diet being deficient for B12 by European & American standards. It was one of the reasons for reducing the suggested daily intake for Indians to 1 mg, as recommended by the WHO, substantially lower than in Europe or the US.
