My baby is 1 year 1 month old now. When I try serving solid food, he chews some time in the starting and some times he would swallow. So he would choke and vomit some food or all the food he ate.

Hello.
Please provide your baby energy dense food which is soft to chew. Soften your food by adding cream/yoghurt/ghee. Add sugar/jaggery so that even if your child consumes less amount her collie requirement are fulfilled.
Thank you.

Just give soft food items( can use a littlebit more water to soften food items) serve small small portions while feeding, feed slowly.
