Mistakenly standing up after tashahud of the second rakaat in a two rakaat salaah

Q: I was praying the 2 rakaats of sunnah for the Esha salaah. After tashahud in the 2nd rakaat, I stood up and recited Bismillah and Surah Fatiha, whilst reciting I realised my mistake. What should you do in such a situation? It has happened to me before.

A: You may add one more rakaat and make it four.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
