How to transition from smooth to textured food?

To those mummies who did/does TW with your infant, how do you transition from smooth textured food to textured food like porridge? My infant is 8m10d old and I want to transition him from cereal to porridge but he gagged and sometimes threw up. Transitioning him slowly since I read that by 9 mths old should eat textured food already. I did porridge for him last time but I made sure to blend it smooth before feeding him and he ate it well. Advice needed. Greatly appreciate your help!

Maybe try half smooth and half textured mixed together? Feed in smaller mouthfuls and see how he reacts. Gagging a little bit is ok. Gag does not mean he’s choking.
