HI...a baby weighing 2.2 kilos at birth and at 7months 3 weeks weighing 6.75kg is doing well. Nothing to worry about if her development is normal. I suggest you not to give any animal protein including egg till 1 year of age.
Other home-made food options will be -
1. Daal and rice well cooked and made into a porridge along with ghee
2. Boiled apple or banana and mashed into a paste.
3. Any made cereal porridge preparation with additional ghee added.
