At 5 to 6 months u can start compliments feeds, which will be mainly simple food, no complex/combination foods
It may include some fruits (some need boiling/steaming like apple), and plain dal/rice or dal+rice but without too much salt or sugar and no masala/spices
Start a new item every 2 weeks, not all at once, so that baby can adapt to the new taste
