On the first day of introducing complementary feeding, the most common recommendation is to start with a single food, a small amount, and in a simple way. Usually a vegetable puree (like boiled carrot or sweet potato) or fruit puree (like apple or pear) is preferred. Your baby's main nutrition is still breastmilk or formula; complementary feeding is just exploratory, 1-2 teaspoons, then followed by regular breastfeeding or bottle feeding. It's a safe approach to give the same food for 3-5 days and watch for allergy signs. On the first day, salt, sugar, spices, or multiple ingredients are not added.
