Toddler is picky eater

Question

Asked for Female, 2 Years

My daughter is 2.5 years old and weighs about 11.5. She doesn't eat rice at all but eats chapathi, dosa and few other selective items. Now she is stopping dosa as well which is the only rice based diet which she takes. I tried making her eat on her own but even after two months she won't take a bite of rice. Fruits , veggies and nuts are not a problem, she eats them well. Do I need to be worried about rice based food? What are the options I can try with her? She is generally a strong willed girl , can't make her do anything by forcing.
