First check with the tastes she likes. Some babies prefer sweet, some may not. If she likes sweet then you start with mashed and strained fruits like pear, banana or apple. If she doesnt like sweet, start with porridge made with washed, sun dried and powdered rice and masoor dal adding a pinch of salt to it or mashed potato with a small pinch of salt to it.
Next Steps
only one type of food cannot be suggested, you can consult for brief explanation
Health Tips
try different types of foods, try again if they do not accept, start diluted toned buffallo milk adding sugar to it

You can start with mashed vegetables and fruits like potato, apple , pear, carrot , sweet potato dal soup, Make sure that it's cooked properly and mashed. Introduce one food at a time over a period of time. Usually infants take time to get used to the taste of a food.
Gradually you can shift to mashed khichdi, and other soft foods.
Do not give too hot or too cold , maintain the temperature of food before feeding.
Feed little at a time. And do not use any salt or sugar. Give it in its natural form.

let the baby eat the same portions as they will never over eat, now No does not mean No for life long, try after few days, she will like the same food she disliked, feed every 2 hours, and serve the same food( in semi solid form) as you eat.
