Baby is not taking food

My kid is 9 months old. Initially when she started her solid journey she accepted apple,pear,carrot puree, gradually she stopped eating food. I have tried many kinds of food but she is not opening her mouth at all. Only she accepts water and plain curd. I am worried, her weight is 8.5kg, what if she doesn't accept food and only stays on milk? She drinks 360-400ml everyday. 120ml each feed. She is both bottle formula fed and breastfed. Can i get the reason why this happens and any tricks how i can try my baby to eat.

At this age teething might cause food refusal. Can try chilled food ( not frozen). Avoid salty, spicy, tangy. Jaggery can be added in moderation
Next Steps
Try to get her to use spoon to feed herself.
