How do you identify LO taste and preferences

Dear friends

How do you identify your LO taste and preferences. Is it by trial and error /luck/patience.

I want my LO to be exposed to different taste and preference ... He is interested in almost all healthy and nutritious snacks like veg, fruits etc , but when it comes to feeding solids , i feel i dont have much choice for him.
For eg : For lunch when i feed rice , i essentially have to mix dhal with veggies daily. He wont take ,rice with curd, spinach,rasam, sambhar , fruits etc. So my choice is limited. He is not fond of spicy food too.

For breakfast , again either dosa /idli /sathumavu kanji. I tried cornflaks, bread ( a big no) for variety, he refuses.

For dinner i give , rava khichdi with veggies, chapathi/stuffed paratha, dosa ( great dosa fan)

I feel iam not giving him much varieties, rather he is not taking .I myself feel bored to feed the same food daily.He is reluctant to try new food , either problem with texture or taste. How do i know his taste and preference or should i let him as he is and he will outgrow this later.

Please share your experience.
