Hi, thanks for asking.
In my opinion giving flavoured foods and foods with preservatives is ok once in a while but is better avoided a we are still not clear regarding their influence on the child's growth.
If she does not eat rice it ok. Give her something else. It seems she is intersted in finger foods. Give her pieces of idli, dosa, boiled vegetables etc.
I hope I have helped you.
