If ur child has completed six months, You can Start with Dal or chawal ka pani, after few days start with Fruit purees like apples, pear, avacado, papaya, mashed banana, vegetable puree like carrots, pumpkin, peas, mashed sweet potato or potatoes, pulses, porridge like ragi or oats, veg rice, dal rice, veg kichdi, RASAM rice, steamed idli, home made cereals. Start with easily digestible foods first during day time and then move on to the heavy ones. Always follow this two day gap rule between introducing new foods. Also avoid using sugar and salt until the baby is one year old.  Yes u can switch on the AC. Take care of the below things. The baby should be dressed appropriately so that he doesn't feel too cold. The cool air shouldn't blow directly on the baby. The temperature should be moderate and not very low. Don't use AC if the child is having cold or fever.
