    Cutiesri, cheese and curd are fine for a nine-month-old, as far as I know.

    Nuts are a little more questionable for two reasons. First, they are a choking hazard. Second, in the US, nuts are one of those foods that some children turn out to be allergic to, and some believe that delaying the introduction of such foods may stave off allergic reactions or the development of sensitivities.

    I'm not sure what the Indian position is on nuts as allergens. Check with your pediatrician. If allergies are not a concern, then you can give your baby nut butters (like peanut butter or almond butter) to avoid the choking hazard. My daughter loves hummus (chickpea paste + other ingredients) even though she is past the high-risk choking stage.

    Honey is thought to be dangerous for infants under 12 months old, because of a risk of infant botulism. You should be guided by your pediatrician in making food choices for your baby.
