At 5 months, you should still be exclusively breastfeeding. After 6 months, you can start weaning foods...Start by mixing the fruit pulp in breast milk and thinning it a bit with spoon. Mango is perfectly fine. Seasonal is always best. 'Banana causes cough' is a myth, That's not true scientifically. So you can feed bananas too...

As baby is too small start with rice, dal paani, carrot, potato. These are tested and good to start initially. Slowly you can add. Once baby is fine ...then give banana. papaya, my gal use to like lichi.. even now it's her favourite. And big red grapes.. she will say.." amma grapes...as it's big compared to normal one."
