So I was praying Fard Salaat of Fajr and I made mistake(s) in reciting a Surah after Surah Al-fatiha. Usually I performed Sajidah Sahu in the last rakaat in such case but I forgot to do that and finish the Salaat. Now what should I do? Should I repeat the Salaat?
 
If you had completed 3 Ayaat of Surah, (or had completed text length in excess of Surah Al-Kausar) before the mistake, you don't need a Sajda e Sahu.

What is the procedure for that? I forgot, there's something which you have to read along with as well isn't it

Sajda Sahu means in the last rakaat when you sit down, you recite Athait then do one salam (right one) then do 2 sajda and then recite Athait again and then proceed to finish like you normally do.
 
I explored some references afterwards.
A mistake in Surah after Al Fateha doesn't necessitate Sajda e Sahu. Surah Al Fateha is obligatory and Surah after it isn't.

Still its very subjective.

Brother reciting a surah is not obligatory in salah . It is sunnah.

Reciting surah Fatiha is obligatory.

Reciting surah Fatiha is obligatory.

Thanks guys. I did not know that in Salaat only Surah Alfathia is obligatory and all other surahs are sunnah. So if you make a mistake in reciting those other surahs in Salaat, you can just ignore those mistake? and not even need to perform Sajda Sahu?

Here in this small 4 mins video , a scholar says about sajdah e sahu

Trust me this is the best scholar ( most unbiased ) you could ever get. He is not associated with any sects.
 
I'm not a scholar obvioulsy but I'm pretty sure you just ask Allah to forgive you for making a mistake, since you're already done and can't fix it. I don't think you need to repeat the prayer, at least I don't do it.
