Hi Ruchi mashed foods should be stopped by 7 months, if not it will be very difficult to transform them to regular food. Do not worry but keep trying, start with soft foods, then give small chunks, gradually increase the size. Encourage self feeding, sit along with the baby and eat, make sound and chew your food so baby will learn it from you.

Hey my baby too used to do that.. I gave her mashed food for a long time . gradually increase the particle size.
