Does a bulb of garlic mean a single clove or a "head" of garlic?

The recipe sounds great but what are the measurements kg? We use teaspoon, tablespoon. Also, never heard of moringa, not sure any grocery stores in the county carry it, & the two I did call had never heard of it.

You can remove moringa as it could not be available in your stores. It's an optional ingredient, actually. :-)
